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 310 Issued at 2200Z on 06 Nov 2010

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 05-2100Z to 06-2100Z

Solar activity was at high levels. Region 1121 (S18W48) produced an M5/1N flare at 06/1536Z. Associated with this event were discrete radio emissions ranging from 4,995 MHz - 15,400 MHz, as well as a 100 sfu Tenflare observed at 06/1534Z. Region 1121 was classified as an Eai spot group with a beta magnetic classification. Region 1120 (N41W13) continued to decay. New Region 1122 (N13W02) was classified as a Cso spot group with a beta magnetic classification.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be at low to moderate levels. M-class flares are expected.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 05-2100Z to 06-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels on day one (07 November). Quiet to unsettled levels, with isolated active levels at high latitudes, are expected on days two and three (08-09 November).
