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.

SDF Number 217 Issued at 2200Z on 05 Aug 2006

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 04-2100Z to 05-2100Z

Solar activity remains at very low levels. No spotted regions were observed on the disk during the past 24 hours. No new regions were numbered today.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to remain at very low levels.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 04-2100Z to 05-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at quite levels.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels. Isolated active periods may be possible on 08 August with the onset of a recurrent coronal hole.
