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 147 Issued at 2200Z on 27 May 2005

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 26-2100Z to 27-2100Z

Solar activity was moderate. Region 767 (S08W02) produced an M1/2f and associated tenflare at 27/1230 UTC. This region also produced a C8 flare at 26/2139 UTC. A type IV radio sweep was associated with this C8 event and a faint CME was observed on LASCO imagery. Region 767 continues to develop in both size and magnetic complexity, and is now nearing 400 millionths of white light area.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low to moderate. Region 767 has the potential for further M-class activity. Old Region 758 (S10, L=139), a large and moderately complex region during its last rotation, is due to rotate onto the visible disk on 28 May.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 26-2100Z to 27-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels again today.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to range from quiet to minor storming. A recurrent coronal hole high speed stream is expected to rotate into geoeffective position on 28 May. The most disturbed periods will likely occur on 29 and 30 May as the recent CMEs from Region 767 are expected to impact the geomagnetic field.
