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 193 Issued at 2200Z on 11 Jul 2008

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z

Solar activity was very low. No flares were observed in the past 24 hours. The visible solar disk remains spotless.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels. Solar wind signatures observed at ACE are indicating the onset of a high speed stream from a recurrent coronal hole. The velocity has showed a steady increase from around 340 to 450 km/s, and the IMF Bz component has ranged from +/- 7 nT.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at unsettled to active levels with a chance for isolated minor storm conditions at high latitudes for 13 July. Predominately unsettled conditions are expected for 14-15 July as the high speed stream continues to be geoeffective.
