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 035 Issued at 2200Z on 04 Feb 2009IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 03-2100Z to 04-2100Z Solar activity was very low. The solar disk remains
spotless and there were no flares observed during the past 24 hours.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 03-2100Z to 04-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to minor storm conditions. The
disturbance in the solar wind continued from yesterday.
Observations from the ACE spacecraft reflect a possible CME
signature associated with this disturbance.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled conditions for 05 February.
Predominately quiet levels are expected for 06-07 February.
