Solar activity report

Any mentioned solar flare in this report has a scaling factor applied by the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC). Because of the SWPC scaling factor, solar flares are reported as 42% smaller than for the science quality data. The scaling factor has been removed from our archived solar flare data to reflect the true physical units.

Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity

SDF Number 153 Issued at 2200Z on 01 JUN 2000

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 31-2100Z to 01-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS MODERATE. NEWLY NUMBERED REGION 9026 (N19E75) PRODUCED AN M2/1F TENFLARE AT 0617Z AS WELL AS NUMEROUS LESSER-SIZED EVENTS. THIS REGION IS THE LIKELY SOURCE OF THE EARLIER CME ACTIVITY SEEN BEYOND THE NE LIMB DURING THE PAST FEW DAYS. IT IS THE PROBABLE RETURN OF OLD REGION 9006, BORN ON THE DISK JUST PRIOR TO ITS WEST LIMB PASSAGE ON MAY 18. REGION 9024 (S17E16) EXHIBITED SOME GROWTH, AND ALSO PRODUCED A C8/2B TENFLARE AT 0732Z. NEW REGION 9027 (N20E04) WAS ALSO NUMBERED TODAY. ACTIVE REGIONS ELSEWHERE ON THE DISK WERE QUIET AND STABLE.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW TO MODERATE.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 31-2100Z to 01-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET TO ACTIVE. WEAK SUBSTORMS OCCURRED DURING LOCAL NIGHTTIME HOURS. THE RADIAL SPEED OF THE SOLAR WIND FELL FROM 550 TO 450 KM/S. THE GREATER THAN 2 MEV ELECTRON FLUX AT GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT WAS HIGH.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE UNSETTLED THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD.
