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 175 Issued at 2200Z on 24 Jun 2001

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z

Solar activity has been at low levels. The largest event being an optically uncorrelated C6 at 24/0455 UTC. Region 9511 (N10E00), after producing an X-class flare and three M-class events on 22-23 June, has shown a dramatic decrease in activity and has deteriorated to a simple beta magnetic classification. Only two minor C-class events were produced by Region 9511 today. Region 9503 (N15W75) still retains a beta-gamma classification, but has only produced a minor C-class event during the period. Regions 9512 (S22W09) and 9513 (N23E44) have increased in area and spot count but have not produced any significance activity yet. No new regions were numbered.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low to moderate. Isolated M-class events are possible.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled conditions. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels during the period.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled conditions for the first two days of the period. Isolated active conditions, especially at higher latitudes, may occur on the third day due to a favorably positioned coronal hole and the resulting high speed stream impacting earth.
