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 191 Issued at 2200Z on 10 Jul 2003

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

Solar activity has been moderate. Region 397 (N12W87) produced two M-class flares, an M2.0 at 09/2238Z, and an M3.6 at 10/1412Z with an associated Type II radio sweep. Region 397 appears to be decaying as it passes the west limb. No new regions were numbered today.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low to moderate, with a chance of isolated M-class flares from Regions 397 or 400.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 09-2100Z to 10-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels. The greater than 2 MeV electron fluxes at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled, with isolated active to minor storm conditions on days one and two due to elevated solar wind speeds as a coronal hole rotates into geoeffective position.
