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 220 Issued at 2200Z on 08 Aug 2007

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

Solar activity was very low. Region 966 (S06E07) developed in size and complexity, but produced only a B-class flare.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 07-2100Z to 08-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. Solar wind speed remains elevated at approximately 500 km/s due to a geoeffective coronal hole. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels today.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled on 09 August. Expect unsettled to active conditions, with isolated minor to major storm periods, on 10 August due to a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream. Conditions should become quiet to unsettled on 11 August as the coronal hole moves out of a geoeffective position.
