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 206 Issued at 2200Z on 25 Jul 2011

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z

Solar activity was very low during the past 24 hours. A B7 x-ray event was observed at 25/1628Z from Region 1260 (N20E58).
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low to low for the next three days (25-27 July). Region 1260 is most likely region for C-class events.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been quiet to unsettled. Solar wind velocities observed at the ACE spacecraft indicated the onset of a coronal hole high speed stream at about 24/2200Z. Wind speed reached 650 km/s during the period. 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 predominately quiet to unsettled with a slight chance for isolated active conditions on day one (26 July). Day two (27 July) is expected to be predominately quiet. Day three (28 July) is expected to be quiet to unsettled with a slight chance for isolated active periods, with the expected arrival of a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream late in the period.
