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 284 Issued at 2200Z on 11 Oct 2011

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z

Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24 hours. Region 1313 (S15W13) remains the most magnetically complex region, but has failed to produce any notable activity. Early in the period, two new regions rotated onto the visible disk, around the southeast limb, and were numbered as Region 1316 (S12E56) and Region 1317 (S26E68).
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be at very low to low levels for the next three days (12-14 October).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at predominantly quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speeds, as measured by the ACE spacecraft did show an increase from 320 km/s to around 410 km/s during the period.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at mostly quiet levels for the next three days (12-14 October).
