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 315 Issued at 2200Z on 11 Nov 2010

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z

Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. Multiple C-class events were observed throughout the period, the largest being a C4.7/Sf from Region 1123 (S22E03) at 11/0724Z. Associated with this event were discrete radio emissions at 245 MHz and a partial-halo CME observed in LASCO imagery at 11/0824Z and STEREO A at 11/0809Z. New Region 1125 (N19E34) was numbered early in the period.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be at low levels with a chance for M-class events for the next three days (12-14 November).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours, with isolated minor storm periods at high latitudes. At about 11/0200Z, signatures at the ACE satellite indicated an increase in temperature, density and wind velocity. The Bz component of the interplanetary field (IMF) occasionally turned southward reaching a maximum deflection of -9 nT at 11/1208Z. The Bt component of the IMF reached a maximum of 12 nT at 11/0304Z. These disturbances are believed to be the result of a slow moving CME.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels for the next three days (12-14 November).
