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 190 Issued at 2200Z on 08 JUL 2000

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 07-2100Z to 08-2100Z

SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. NUMEROUS C-CLASS EVENTS OCCURRED, WITH THE LARGEST A C6/1N AT 0734Z FROM REGION 9070 (N19W11). REGION 9073 (S19E04) GREW SUBSTANTIALLY AND PRODUCED FREQUENT SUBFLARES. REGION 9071 (N22W62), THE SITE OF 2 M-CLASS FLARES YESTERDAY, WAS QUIET. THERE ARE 12 SPOTTED REGIONS WITH THE MOST RECENT ADDITION BEING REGION 9078 (S13E57).
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW TO MODERATE. REGIONS 9070 AND 9073 ARE THE PRIME SITES FOR CONTINUED FLARE ACTIVITY.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 07-2100Z to 08-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET TO UNSETTLED.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN AT QUIET TO UNSETTLED LEVELS FOR THE NEXT 2 DAYS. A DISTURBANCE, DUE TO THE HALO CME THAT LEFT THE SUN ON 07 JULY, IS EXPECTED ON 11 JULY. ACTIVE TO MINOR STORM CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL AT THAT TIME.
