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 160 Issued at 2200Z on 09 Jun 2011IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 08-2100Z to 09-2100Z Solar activity was low. Region 1226 (S20W95) produced a
C4/Sf flare at 09/0348Z as it neared the west limb. New Region 1234
(S16E59) produced a C1 flare at 09/1028Z. Region 1234 was classified
as a Bxo group with a simple bipolar structure. No Earth-directed
coronal mass ejections (CME) were observed during the period.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to very low
through the period (10 - 12 June) with a chance for an isolated
C-class flare.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 08-2100Z to 09-2100Z
Geomagnetic activity was at quiet to unsettled levels. The greater
than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels
during the period.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
Geomagnetic activity is
forecast to increase to unsettled to active levels early on day 1
(10 June) with a chance for minor storm levels due to the arrival of
the halo-CME observed on 07 June. Activity is expected to decrease
to quiet to unsettled levels during 11 - 12 June. There will be a
chance for a greater than 10 MeV proton event at geosynchronous
orbit on day 1 due to the expected CME arrival.
