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 323 Issued at 2200Z on 19 Nov 2005

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 18-2100Z to 19-2100Z

Solar activity was low. Region 822 (S08W12) produced two C-class flares. A C5.8/Sf flare occurred at 18/2357Z, and a C1.5 S/f flare occurred at 19/2019Z. The region continues to decay slowly. New Region 823 (S18W37) was numbered today. This emerging flux region developed rapidly in the last 24 hours. CME activity observed today on LASCO imagery appears to have originated from back-sided events.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low to moderate. Region 822 may still be capable of producing an M-class flare.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 18-2100Z to 19-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet, with periods of active conditions occurring after 19/1500Z due to a solar sector boundary crossing.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at predominantly unsettled levels. Isolated active periods are possible on 21 November due to a solar sector boundary crossing. There is a slight chance that weak transient effects, resulting from the disappearing solar filament which occurred late on 16 November, may enhance activity on 21 November.
