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 309 Issued at 2200Z on 05 Nov 2010

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 04-2100Z to 05-2100Z

Solar activity was at moderate Levels. Region 1121 (S18E58) produced two M-class flares. An M1/Sf event occurred at 04/2358Z, and a long duration M1 event occurred at 05/1329Z. Region 1121 was classified as a Cro spot group with a beta magnetic classification. However, limb proximity prevented a detailed analysis of the region. Region 1120 (N38W09) continued to show decreases in both areal coverage and sunspot count.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be at low to moderate levels. M-class events remain likely.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 04-2100Z to 05-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at predominantly quiet levels for days one and two (06-07 November). Quiet to unsettled levels, with isolated active levels at high latitudes, are expected on day three (08 November).
