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 174 Issued at 2200Z on 22 Jun 2008

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 21-2100Z to 22-2100Z

Solar activity was at very low levels. No flares were observed during the period.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to remain at very low levels.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 21-2100Z to 22-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet. Solar wind velocities gradually decayed from a peak of about 500 km/s at the beginning of the period to near 400 km/s at forecast issue time. 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 at mostly quiet levels for days one and two (23 and 24 June). Activity is expected to increase to quiet to unsettled conditions on day three (25 June) due to a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream that will rotate into a geoeffective position.
