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 183 Issued at 2200Z on 02 Jul 2011

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 01-2100Z to 02-2100Z

Solar activity has been very low. There have been two B-class flares observed in the past 24 hours. Region 1243 (N16E08) produced a B2 event at 01/2111Z, and Region 1242 (N18W57) produced a B1 event at 1121Z. Region 1243 showed growth in the leader spot, but the trailer spots decayed.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low with a slight chance for an isolated C-class flare.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 01-2100Z to 02-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet. ACE solar wind data indicated speeds between 360 - 430 km/s, consistent with a weak high speed stream from a favorably positioned coronal hole.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled with a chance for an isolated active period on days 1 and 2 (3 - 4 July). Day 3 (5 July) is expected to be quiet.
