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 070 Issued at 2200Z on 10 Mar 2008IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 09-2100Z to 10-2100Z Solar activity was very low. Region 985 (S10W83) was
numbered today. It is currently a BXO group with an area of 90
millionths.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to continue
at very low levels.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 09-2100Z to 10-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to active levels due to the
influence of a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream. Solar wind
at the ACE spacecraft is elevated to approximately 700 km/s at
forecast issue time.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to range from quiet to active levels with isolated minor
storm periods possible for days one and two (11-12 March). Quiet to
unsettled conditions are expected on day three (13 March) as the
effects of the coronal hole high speed stream wane.
