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 168 Issued at 2200Z on 16 JUN 2000

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 15-2100Z to 16-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS MODERATE. THE LARGEST EVENT OF THE PERIOD WAS FROM REGION 9040 (N18E07) WHICH PRODUCED AN M2/1F AT 15/2343Z. TWO NEW REGIONS WERE NUMBERED TODAY AS REGION 9048 (N07W13) AND REGION 9049 (S40E65).
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW TO MODERATE. ISOLATED X-CLASS FLARES ARE POSSIBLE FROM SEVERAL REGIONS INCLUDING REGION 9033 (N24W67), 9042 (N20E29) AND 9046 (N18E57).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 15-2100Z to 16-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET TO UNSETTLED.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE QUIET TO UNSETTLED THE FIRST DAY OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. DAY TWO IS EXPECTED TO BECOME ACTIVE DUE TO THE M1/2N FLARE AND CME OBSERVED AT 15/1957Z FROM REGION 9041 (N20W65 AT FLARE TIME). QUIET TO UNSETTLED CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO RETURN ON DAY THREE.
