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 054 Issued at 2200Z on 23 Feb 2004

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 22-2100Z to 23-2100Z

Solar activity has been low. Region 564 (N13E13) produced a C1 flare at 22/2321Z. Region 564 continues to grow in area coverage but has simplified in magnetic complexity. The polarity mixing observed yesterday in the intermediate spots appears to be predominantly negative polarity today. New Region 565(S05E35) was numbered today.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to very low to low. Region 564 has the potential for C-class flares.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 22-2100Z to 23-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled.
