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 256 Issued at 2200Z on 13 Sep 2013IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 12-2100Z to 13-2100Z Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24
hours. There are currently 3 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low
with a slight chance for a C-class flare on days one, two, and three (14
Sep, 15 Sep, 16 Sep).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 12-2100Z to 13-2100Z
The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar
wind speed, as measured by the ACE spacecraft, reached a peak speed of
603 km/s at 13/0108Z. Total IMF reached 10 nT at 13/1603Z. The maximum
southward component of Bz reached -7 nT at 13/1525Z. Electrons greater
than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 178 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is likely to
to be at quiet to unsettled levels on day one (14 Sep) with a chance for
active conditions, mostly quiet levels on day two (15 Sep) and likely to
be at active levels on day three (16 Sep) with a slight chance for minor
storm conditions.
