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 227 Issued at 2200Z on 14 AUG 2000IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. OCCASIONAL C-CLASS EVENTS
OCCURRED, THE LARGEST BEING A C8/1F FROM REGION 9126 (N06W84) AT
14/0508UT. REGION 9129 (S06E48) PRODUCED A C5/1F AT 14/0742UT.
REGION 9125 (N25E15) REMAINS THE LARGEST AND MOST COMPLEX SPOT
GROUP. IT HAS GROWN IN SIZE AND NUMBER OF SPOTS SINCE YESTERDAY,
HOWEVER IT HAS ONLY PRODUCED ISOLATED OPTICAL SUBFLARES DURING THE
PERIOD. TWO NEW REGIONS WERE NUMBERED: 9132 (N23E52) AND 9133
(S09E03).
