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 056 Issued at 2200Z on 25 Feb 2005

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z

Solar activity was very low.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet to active. Active periods due to the effects of a geoeffective high speed stream. Solar wind speed at ACE has increased from approximately 450 km/s to 550 km/s.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to active on 26 February. On 27 and 28 February, expect unsettled to active conditions with isolated minor storm periods possible.
