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 330 Issued at 2200Z on 26 NOV 1997IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 25-2100Z to 26-2100Z SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS MODERATE DUE TO AN M2/SF FLARE AT
26/1837Z IN NEW REGION 8113 (N20E77). THIS REGION IS STILL COMING
INTO VIEW AS IT ROTATES AROUND THE EAST LIMB BUT APPEARS TO BE A
MODERATELY SIZED E-TYPE SUNSPOT GROUP. IT HAS ALSO GENERATED SEVERAL
C-CLASS FLARES SINCE YESTERDAY. OTHER DISK REGIONS WERE RELATIVELY
QUIET.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE
MODERATE. ANOTHER M-CLASS FLARE IS PROBABLE FROM REGION 8113.
C-CLASS ACTIVITY SHOULD CONTINUE.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 25-2100Z to 26-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET. THE GREATER THAN 2 MEV ELECTRON FLUX
WAS HIGH.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS
EXPECTED TO BE QUIET.
