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 165 Issued at 2200Z on 14 Jun 2011

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z

Solar activity was at low levels during the period. New Region 1236 (N17E64) rotated onto the disk as a D-type spot group and produced two low-level C-class events. A north-south oriented filament channel, located near the SE limb, erupted during the period. SDO/AIA 193 imagery revealed material movement along the large channel, first visible at 14/0609Z, and movement continued through about 14/1500Z. Associated with the filament eruption was a partial halo CME off the east limb, first visible in STEREO-Behind COR2 imagery at 14/0810Z. A plane-of-sky velocity was estimated at about 750 km/s. This CME does not appear to be Earth-directed.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be at low levels with a slight chance for an M-class event all three days of the forecast period (15 - 17 June).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels with an isolated active period observed between 14/0900 - 1200Z. This activity was due to continued effects from a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream. During the period, solar wind velocities rose steadily from near 450 km/s to about 550 km/s. The Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field varied between +/- 8 nT while Bt varied between 5 and 10 nT. The greater than 10 MeV proton enhancement, present since 11 June, decayed to background levels early on 14 June.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels for day one (15 June), with a chance for active levels due to continued high speed stream effects. Activity is expected to decrease to mostly quiet levels on days two and three (16 - 17 June) as high speed stream effects subside.
