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 155 Issued at 2200Z on 03 JUN 2000

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 02-2100Z to 03-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS HIGH. REGION 9026 (N19E54) PRODUCED AN M6/2B FLARE WITH AN ACCOMPANYING 310 SFU TENFLARE AT 03/1924UT. THIS REGION ALSO PRODUCED AN M2/1F AT 03/0849UT. REGION 9026 WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE SOLAR ACTIVITY DURING THE PERIOD. THIS IS A FAIRLY LARGE (940 MILLIONTHS) AND COMPLEX REGION (FKO BETA-GAMMA). THE REST OF THE DISK AND LIMB WERE STABLE AND QUIET.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE MODERATE TO HIGH. M AND POSSIBLY X-CLASS EVENTS CAN BE EXPECTED FROM REGION 8026.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 02-2100Z to 03-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET TO UNSETTLED. THE GREATER THAN 2 MEV ELECTRON FLUX AT GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT WAS AT HIGH TO MODERATE LEVELS.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST AT QUIET TO UNSETTLED LEVELS BARRING AN EARTH DIRECTED CME FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS.
