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 Jun 03 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 154 Issued at 2200Z on 03 Jun 2005IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 02-2100Z to 03-2100Z Solar activity was moderate. Region 772 (S17E09)
produced an M1.3/1b flare at 0411 UTC with associated Type II radio
sweep (571 km/s). There was also an M1.0 flare from the NE limb at
1226 UTC. A powerful CME with a speed of over 1500 km/s was
observed on LASCO imagery following this flare. A strong post-flare
loop system was also visible on the east limb near N15. This flare
originated from a region around the limb not yet numbered.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low
with a chance for moderate levels. C-class activity is expected
from Region 772. Isolated M-class flares are possible.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 02-2100Z to 03-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. 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 unsettled through 05 June. A CME from today's M1
flare in Region 772 may create occasional active periods on 05 and
06 June.
