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 024 Issued at 2200Z on 24 Jan 2007

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z

Solar activity was very low. Region 939 (S04W69) continued to produce small flares and has shown some simplification since yesterday. A long duration B9 flare occurred at 24/1452 UTC from beyond the east limb, near SE07. The flare was associated with a CME visible in the NASA LASCO data. The source of this activity is presumed to be the returning area of old Region 933 (S06, L=034). Sunspots are not yet visible at the limb.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to increase over the next few days as the new region rotates onto the visible disk, C-class flares are expected and M-class flares may occur, depending on the complexity of the area.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was high.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly quiet.
