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 348 Issued at 2200Z on 14 Dec 2009IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z Solar activity has been very low. Todays activity
consisted of a few low-level B class events. New Region 1035
(N31E07) emerged on the disk today and is a simple bi-polar group.
Region 1034 (N20E03) was quiet and appears to be decaying slowly.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low. There is a slight chance for an isolated C class event.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been quiet to unsettled.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet for the next three days (15 - 17 December).
