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 318 Issued at 2200Z on 13 Nov 2004IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 12-2100Z to 13-2100Z Solar activity was very low. Activity was limited to
occasional B-class activity this period. Several new spots emerged
in Region 700 (N05W27), but other than occasional brightness
fluctuations, the region was quiet. No other significant activity or
changes were noted.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low. Isolated low C-class activity is possible.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 12-2100Z to 13-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled with isolated high
latitude active periods. Solar wind speed remains slightly elevated,
ranging from 450 to 500 km/s. The greater than 10 MeV proton event
that began on 07/1910Z is nearing an end. The current proton flux is
ranging from 5 to 10 pfu. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at
geosynchronous orbit was at high levels.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled with isolated active periods. The
greater than 2 MeV proton event in progress since 07 November is
expected to end today.
