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 041 Issued at 2200Z on 10 Feb 2002

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

Solar activity has been moderate. Region 9811 (S26W20) produced an M1/2f event at 10/1848 UTC. Region 9825 (N12E57) produced a C5/1f long duration event at 10/1928 UTC. Region 9821 (S14W11) continues to show growth in both area and spot count and is currently an Esi beta-gamma group with approximately 33 spots. A new region was numbered today as Region 9826 (S23E39).
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low to moderate. Regions 9811, 9821, and 9825 are capable of producing an isolated M-class event.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 09-2100Z to 10-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been quiet to unsettled. The greater than 2 MeV electrons at geosynchronous orbit were enhanced to moderate levels.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled. The greater than 2 MeV electrons at geosynchronous orbit are expected to be enhanced to moderate levels through 11 February and returning to background levels around 12 February.
