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 155 Issued at 2200Z on 04 Jun 2003

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 03-2100Z to 04-2100Z

Solar activity was low with just a couple low level C-class flares. All of these were from Region 375 (N11E39), which is the largest group on the disk and was the most active. The group appeared to be developing a bit of magnetic complexity and was a beta-gamma group as of forecast file time. New Region 377 (N04E71) was assigned today.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be mostly low. There is a fair chance, however, for an isolated M-class flare from Region 375 sometime during the next three days.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 03-2100Z to 04-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was mostly unsettled to active. There was a minor storm period from 2100-2400 UTC on 03 June. Solar wind data continue to show the presence of a high speed solar coronal hole wind stream. The greater than 2 MeV electron fluxes reached high levels during the past 24 hours.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field should be predominantly active with occasional minor storm periods at high latitudes as the current disturbance continues.
