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 245 Issued at 2200Z on 02 Sep 2010

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 01-2100Z to 02-2100Z

Solar activity was very low. No flares occurred during the past 24 hours. Region 1105 (N19W09) was numbered today but remains quiet and stable.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is forecast to be very low for the next 3 days (3-5 September).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 01-2100Z to 02-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet with a brief period of unsettled conditions overnight. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels during the period.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is forecast to be mostly quiet on days 1 and 2 (3-4 September). Quiet to unsettled with the chance for isolated active conditions are forecast on day 3 (5 September) due to possible recurrent effects.
