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 173 Issued at 2200Z on 21 Jun 2008

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 20-2100Z to 21-2100Z

Solar activity was at very low levels. Region 999 (S02W08) remained stable over the period.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to remain at very low levels.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 20-2100Z to 21-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at mostly quiet levels. Solar wind velocities gradually decayed from a peak of near 600 km/s at the beginning of the period to about 500 km/s at forecast issue time.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at mostly quiet levels for the forecast period (22 to 24 June).
