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.
Report of Solar-Geophysical Activity 2005 Apr 19 2210 UTC# Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, #Space Environment Center and the U.S. Air Force. #
Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 109 Issued at 2200Z on 19 Apr 2005IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 18-2100Z to 19-2100Z Solar activity was very low. Region 755 (S12E49),
which was responsible for three C-class flares on 17 April,
continues to decay. A CME was observed on LASCO imagery at 19/1226
UTC directed to the northwest. The CME most likely occurred on the
backside and is not expected to be geoeffective. No new regions
were numbered today.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 18-2100Z to 19-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled with an isolated active
period between 0600 UTC and 0900 UTC on 19 April. The greater than
2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at high levels again
today.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled with the possibility of isolated
active conditions on 20 and 21 April. On 22 April, there is a
chance for increased active periods due to a recurrent coronal hole
high speed stream moving into geoeffective position.
