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 154 Issued at 2200Z on 03 Jun 2011

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 02-2100Z to 03-2100Z

Solar activity was low. Region 1226 (S22W14) produced a C2/Sf flare at 03/1617Z. This region is a Dkc group with a beta magnetic classification. All other numbered regions on the disk remained stable through the period.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to low with a slight chance for an isolated M-class event.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 02-2100Z to 03-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at high levels throughout the period.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly active with isolated minor storm conditions, and isolated major storm levels at high latitudes, for day one (04 June). Activity is expected due to the combination of effects from a coronal hole high-speed stream and a CME observed on 02 June. Quiet to unsettled levels with isolated active conditions are expected for day two (05 June). Day three (06 June) is expected to be quiet to unsettled as activity effects subside.
