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 332 Issued at 2200Z on 28 Nov 2010

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 27-2100Z to 28-2100Z

Solar activity has been very low. New Regions 1129 (S25W76) a Bxo-Beta type spot group and Region 1130 (N13E00), a Csi-Beta type spot group, were numbered today. Region 1130 produced a B2 x-ray event at 28/1754Z.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low with a chance of isolated C-class events from Region 1130 for the next three days (29 November - 01 December).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 27-2100Z to 28-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been quiet to unsettled due to a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream. Observations from the ACE spacecraft indicated solar wind speeds reached approximately 500 km/s during the period.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be predominately quiet to unsettled with a slight chance for isolated active periods during the next three days (29 November-01 December). The activity is forecast due to a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream becoming geoeffective.
