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 180 Issued at 2200Z on 28 Jun 2004

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 27-2100Z to 28-2100Z

Solar activity was low. Region 635 (S10, L=052) produced several low C-class flares as it rotated around the west limb. A CME, visible on the west limb at 28/0124Z, was likely associated with one of several flares from this region. The remaining active regions showed no significant changes.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low to very low. An isolated C-class flare is possible.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 27-2100Z to 28-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled with isolated active levels. Occasional periods of southward Bz resulted in the active conditions. Solar wind measurements indicated a transition into a weak coronal hole high speed stream late in the period.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to continue at quiet to unsettled levels with isolated active periods. A weak high speed stream is expected to produce minor disturbed periods.
