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 308 Issued at 2200Z on 03 Nov 2012

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 02-2100Z to 03-2100Z

Solar activity was very low. The activity for the past 24 hours consisted of a few, low-level B-class flares. New Region 1604 (N08E48) was assigned and is a small bipolar region. All other regions on the disk were quiet and stable.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low for the next three days (04-06 Nov) with a slight chance for a an isolated C-class flare.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 02-2100Z to 03-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet during the past 24 hours. The ACE spacecraft observed a solar sector boundary crossing at 1153Z.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly quiet for the next three days (04-06 Nov).
