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 042 Issued at 2200Z on 11 Feb 2005IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z Solar activity has been low. A C1.0 flare occurred
from Region 734 (S04E44) at 11/1000Z. LASCO imagery showed a CME
off the SE limb at 11/0254Z.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. Solar wind speed at
ACE showed a decline from approximately 680 km/s to 620 km/s during
the reporting period. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at
geosynchronous orbit was high again today.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled on 12 - 14 February. Today's CME
is not expected to be geoeffective.
