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 179 Issued at 2200Z on 28 Jun 2011

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

Solar activity remained at very low levels. Three B-class flares were observed during the period. Region 1236 (N16, L=170) produced a long-duration B6 flare at 28/0107Z, as well as a B9 flare at 28/1321Z. New Regions 1242 (N18W03) and 1243 (N18E62) were numbered today. Both Regions are small and were classified as Cro-beta groups. Region 1243 produced a B3 flare at 28/0647Z.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low for the period (29 Jun - 1 July), with a chance for an isolated C-class flare.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 27-2100Z to 28-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels during the period.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet during days 1 and 2 (29 - 30 June). Activity is expected to be at quiet levels during most of day 3 (01 July), with an active period late in the day (01 July). The increase in activity is due to a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream.
