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 342 Issued at 2200Z on 08 Dec 2007

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

Solar activity was very low. Region 978 (S10E39) has grown and new region 979 (N07W65) emerged.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to range from very low to low. The development of Region 978 (S10E39 ) and emergence of Region 979 (N07W65) bring an increased possiblity of C-Class activity.
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 at quiet levels for day 1 and 2, then increase to unsettled levels on day 3 as a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream becomes geoeffective.
