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 035 Issued at 2200Z on 04 Feb 2001

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 03-2100Z to 04-2100Z

Solar activity was low. Minor C-class flares were observed from Regions 9330 (N25E04), 9334 (N11E41), and from new regions near the SE limb. Regions 9330 and 9334 are the most complex regions on the visible disk and exhibited frequent brightenings, however, no significant changes were observed in white light. New Regions 9338 (S18E59) and 9339 (S12E74) were numbered today.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to continue at low levels. An isolated M class flare is possible from Region 9330 or 9334.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 03-2100Z to 04-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to remain at low levels through day one. Unsettled conditions are expected on days two and three as a coronal hole moves into a geoeffectively favorable position.
