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 158 Issued at 2200Z on 07 Jun 2006

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 06-2100Z to 07-2100Z

Solar activity was very low. Activity consisted of several B-class flares. Region 892 (S07E29) has grown in size and magnetic complexity and developed a weak delta configuration. Region 893 (S01E52) has also grown in size during the past 24 hours.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low. There is a good chance for an isolated C-class flare from Region 892. There is a slight chance also for an isolated M-class flare from this region.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 06-2100Z to 07-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was mostly active the past 24 hours due to a coronal hole high speed stream. The solar wind velocity remains elevated at 550 - 650 km/s. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached high levels during the past 24 hours.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
Geomagnetic field is forecast to be active for the next 24 - 36 hours (08 - 09/1200Z June) due to persistence of the high speed stream. Activity levels are expected to decline to quiet to unsettled for the remainder of the forecast interval (09/1200Z - 10 June).
