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 189 Issued at 2200Z on 08 Jul 2007

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 07-2100Z to 08-2100Z

Solar activity was low. Region 963 (S07E66) has produced three C-class flares and numerous B-class flares. The region is currently a moderate size D-type sunspot group with a simple beta magnetic configuration.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to remain low, with a slight chance for an isolated M-class flare from Region 963.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 07-2100Z to 08-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to remain quiet from day one (9 July) through most of day two (10 July). Late on day two, and continuing through day three (11 July), geomagnetic activity is expected to become unsettled with possible active periods in response to a recurrent coronal hole.
