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 270 Issued at 2200Z on 27 Sep 2010IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 26-2100Z to 27-2100Z Solar activity was very low. Region 1109 (N22E02) has
grown slightly in white light areal coverage and remains an E-type
group with a beta magnetic configuration.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low with a chance for a C-class flare from Region 1109.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 26-2100Z to 27-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels. Observations
from the ACE spacecraft during the period show solar wind speeds
ranging between 450-500 km/s and the IMF Bz between +5/-5 nT.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be at predominantly quiet levels with isolated unsettled
periods for the next three days (28-30 September).
