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 177 Issued at 2200Z on 25 JUN 2000

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY INCREASED TO MODERATE LEVELS DUE TO A PAIR OF M-CLASS FLARES. THE FIRST WAS AN M2/SF AT 25/0114Z WITH AN ASSOCIATED LOOP PROMINENCE SYSTEM FROM REGION 9042, NOW ABOUT A DAY BEYOND THE WEST LIMB. THE SECOND WAS AN M1/2N AT 25/0752Z FROM REGION 9046 (N21W61). THIS REGION SHOWED NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES DURING THE PERIOD AND REMAINED A SMALL, MIXED-POLARITY SPOT GROUP. MINOR GROWTH WAS REPORTED IN REGIONS 9054 (N12W04) AND 9058 (S14W41). THE REMAINING REGIONS WERE STABLE AND SIMPLY-STRUCTURED. AN ERUPTIVE PROMINENCE WAS OBSERVED AT NE26 AROUND 25/1200Z. NEW REGION 9062 (S19E72) WAS NUMBERED.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE AT LOW TO MODERATE LEVELS. ISOLATED M-CLASS FLARES ARE POSSIBLE DURING THE PERIOD.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z
GEOMAGNETIC FIELD ACTIVITY DECREASED TO QUIET TO UNSETTLED LEVELS. A GREATER THAN 10 MEV PROTON FLUX ENHANCEMENT AT GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT BEGAN AROUND 25/1300Z, LIKELY ASSOCIATED WITH THE M1/SF LIMB-FLARE FROM OLD REGION 9042.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
GEOMAGNETIC FIELD ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO UNSETTLED TO ACTIVE LEVELS DURING 26 - 27 JUNE DUE TO CORONAL HOLE EFFECTS. BRIEF MINOR STORM CONDITIONS MAY ALSO OCCUR DURING THIS PERIOD. FIELD ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO DECREASE TO QUIET TO UNSETTLED LEVELS ON THE FINAL DAY OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. THE GREATER THAN 10 MEV PROTON FLUX AT GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT IS EXPECTED TO RETURN TO BACKGROUND LEVELS EARLY TOMORROW. THE GREATER THAN 2 MEV ELECTRON FLUX AT GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT IS EXPECTED TO REACH MODERATE TO HIGH LEVELS LATE IN THE PERIOD.
