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 027 Issued at 2200Z on 27 Jan 2003

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 26-2100Z to 27-2100Z

Solar activity was very low. No significant events occurred in the past 24 hours. One new active region, 273 (N06W18), was born on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low to low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 26-2100Z to 27-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. Solar wind speeds dropped to more normal levels near 450 km/s. Energetic electron fluxes at geosynchronous orbit attained high values during the interval.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to persist at quiet to unsettled conditions throughout the period.
