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.

SDF Number 039 Issued at 2200Z on 08 Feb 2001

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

Solar activity was low. Region 9335 (N09E01) produced a C1/Sf at 08/2030 UTC. This area has decayed somewhat since yesterday but contains some mixed polarity fields. Other disk regions have decayed a little or remain small and simple. Newly numbered Regions 9344 (N31E13) and 9345 (S20E19) emerged on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low to low. Region 9335 remains the most likely source of flares.
