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 311 Issued at 2200Z on 07 Nov 2010

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 06-2100Z to 07-2100Z

Solar activity was at low levels. Region 1121 (S18E36) produced a C5/1F at 07/0141Z. Region 1121 was classified as an Esi spot group, with a Beta-Gamma magnetic configuration. No new regions were numbered. A small, faint earth-directed CME was observed on both STEREO A and B coronagraph imagery, beginning at 07/0410Z.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be at low to moderate levels, with a chance for high levels.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 06-2100Z to 07-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels, with isolated active levels at high latitudes, on days one and two (08-09 November). Quiet levels are expected on day three (10 November). Further analysis will be required to determine if the CME observed earlier will be geoeffective. There is a slight chance for a greater than 10 MeV proton event from Region 1121.
