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 328 Issued at 2200Z on 24 Nov 2009

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z

Solar Activity was very low. No flares occurred during the past 24 hours. The disk remains spotless.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. The ACE spacecraft detected the arrival of a co-rotating interaction region at 24/0600Z. Solar wind speeds began to increase at 24/0800Z and reached about 450 km/sec by 24/1800Z. The elevated wind speed and fluctuating Bt/Bz caused three unsettled periods, 24/1200-2100Z.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
Geomagnetic activity on day one (25 Nov) is expected to be mostly quiet with a chance for unsettled periods due to persistence of current solar wind conditions. Conditions are expected to be quiet to unsettled again on day two (26 Nov) based on recurrence. Quiet conditions are expected to return on day three (27 Nov).
