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 032 Issued at 2200Z on 01 Feb 2011IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 31-2100Z to 01-2100Z Solar activity was very low.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low with the chance for a C-class flare for the next 3 days
(2-4 February).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 31-2100Z to 01-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet to unsettled until a period of
active conditions occurred at mid latitudes at 01/18Z associated
with the onset of recurrent coronal hole effects.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be unsettled to active with a chance for a minor storm
on day 1 (2 February) due to coronal hole effects along with
intermittent periods of Bz south. On day 2 (3 February), unsettled
to active conditions are forecast until the anticipated mid-day
arrival of the CME from 30 January, when an isolated minor storm
will become likely. Conditions on day 3 (4 February) are expected to
be mostly unsettled to active as coronal hole effects begin to wane.
