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 60 Issued at 2200Z on 01 Mar 2014IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 28-2100Z to 01-2100Z Solar activity has been at moderate levels for the past 24
hours. The largest solar event of the period was a M1 event observed at
01/1333Z from Region 1982 (S11W86). There are currently 10 numbered
sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is likely to be moderate
with a chance for X-class flares on days one, two, and three (02 Mar, 03
Mar, 04 Mar).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 28-2100Z to 01-2100Z
The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed,
as measured by the ACE spacecraft, reached a peak speed of 440 km/s at
01/0634Z. Protons greater than 10 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a
peak level of 88 pfu at 28/2230Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at
geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 236 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet levels on days one, two, and three (02 Mar, 03 Mar, 04
Mar). Protons are expected to cross threshold on day one (02 Mar), have
a chance of crossing threshold on day two (03 Mar) and have a chance of
crossing threshold on day three (04 Mar).
