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 265 Issued at 2200Z on 22 Sep 2010

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

Solar activity was at very low levels. There were numerous B-class events, most of which were produced by Region 1109 (N22E67). Region 1109 is a Dko group with a beta magnetic configuration and has increased in size over the last 24 hours. Region 1108 (S30W09) is now an Hhx alpha group.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be at very low to low levels with a slight chance for M-class events for the next three days (23-25 September).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 21-2100Z to 22-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels during the past 24 hours.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be unsettled to active on days one and two (23-24 September) due to a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream. Day three (25 September) is expected to be mostly unsettled.
