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.

SDF Number 287 Issued at 2200Z on 14 Oct 2010

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z

Solar activity remained at very low levels. Regions 1112 (S18W00) and 1113 (N17E63) each produced isolated low-level B-class flares. New Region 1114 (S22W41), a single-spot A-type, was numbered today.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low through the period (15 - 17 October).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels through the period (15 - 17 October) due to weak CME effects from a filament eruption on 11 October.
