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 255 Issued at 2200Z on 11 Sep 2004

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z

Solar activity remained at low levels today. Region 672 (N05E47) produced several B and C-class flares, the largest was a C1.6 x-ray event that occurred at 11/0006Z. This region has become slightly more magnetically complicated with gamma structures now visible in the trailing portion of region. Regions 667 (S11W58) and 669 (S06W51) were quiescent today and remain simply structured magnetic beta groups. No new regions were numbered today.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be at predominantly low levels throughout the period. There is a slight chance for an isolated M-class event from Region 672.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels today.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels throughout the period.
