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 253 Issued at 2200Z on 10 Sep 2001

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 09-2100Z to 10-2100Z

Solar Activity was low. Five C-class flares occurred during the period with the largest being a C8/1N at 10/0518 UT from region 9608 (S27E07). This region continues to increase in area and magnetic complexity. Region 9610 (S13E22) and 9611 (N10W64) have increased in area. Region 9601 has rotated beyond the west limb without significant activity.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be moderate to high. Region 9608 and nearby neighboring regions have the potential to produce isolated major flares.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 09-2100Z to 10-2100Z
Geomagnetic activity was at quiet to unsettled levels.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
Geomagnetic activity is expected to be predominantly quiet, with the possibility of isolated active conditions in response to coronal hole effects on day two and three.
