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 292 Issued at 2200Z on 19 Oct 2007

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 18-2100Z to 19-2100Z

Solar activity was very low. No flares were observed. The solar disk continues to be spotless.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 18-2100Z to 19-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was predominantly unsettled during the past 24 hours. There was a period of active to minor storm levels from 15-18Z. Real-time solar wind data from ACE show the continuing influence of a recurrent high speed stream throughout the day.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly unsettled to active with a chance for minor storm periods for the next 24 hours (20 October). A decrease to quiet to unsettled levels is expected for the second day (21 October) and mostly quiet levels should prevail for the third day (22 October).
