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 221 Issued at 2200Z on 09 Aug 2010IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 08-2100Z to 09-2100Z Solar activity was very low. Two B1 flares were
observed during the period. New Region 1096 (N19W16) was numbered
and was classified as a Bxo spot group with a beta magnetic
configuration.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low. However, there is a chance for a C-class flare from Region
1096.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 08-2100Z to 09-2100Z
Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet to unsettled levels, with an
isolated active period between 09/03-06Z. The greater than 2 MeV
electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at high levels today.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
Geomagnetic field activity is
expected to be at unsettled to active levels on day 1 (10 August)
due to the expected arrival of the CME observed on SOHO EIT on 07
August. This CME was associated with the M1/2f flare at 07/1824Z.
Quiet to unsettled levels are expected on day two (11 August) due to
the expected arrival of a recurrent coronal hole high-speed stream.
Quiet levels are expected on day three (12 August).
