SIDC SOLAR BULLETIN 22 May 2013, 1205UT
SIDC FORECAST (valid from 1230UT, 22 May 2013 until 24 May 2013)
SOLAR FLARES  : Eruptive (C-class flares expected, probability >=50%)
GEOMAGNETISM  : Quiet (A<20 and K<4)
SOLAR PROTONS : Quiet
PREDICTIONS FOR 22 May 2013  10CM FLUX: 127 / AP: 008
PREDICTIONS FOR 23 May 2013  10CM FLUX: 128 / AP: 007
PREDICTIONS FOR 24 May 2013  10CM FLUX: 130 / AP: 007
COMMENT:Solar activity was eruptive the last 24 hours with 6 C-class
flares, with
the largest one a C2.9 flare from AR NOAA 1756.  NOAA 1748 (Catania 75) has
become less complex and has only a small chance in producing an M-class
flare. Geomagnetic conditions where quiet to moderate and are expected to
remain so for the next 48 hours.
TODAY'S ESTIMATED ISN  : 084, BASED ON 11 STATIONS.

Details

The SIDC ursigram starts with the code SIDC URSIGRAM YMMDD, where
Y is the last digit of the year number,
MM is the number of the month,
DD is the day of the month.

A forecast is given on:
the global flare probability,
geomagnetic disturbances,
solar proton events.

NOTICEABLE EVENTS SUMMARY
DAY BEGIN MAX END LOC XRAY OP 10CM TYPE Catania NOAA NOTE

DAY gives the day-of-the-month.
BEGIN, MAX and END give the UT time of the different phases of the X-ray output of the event.
LOC gives the location of the event in heliographic coordinates.
XRAY gives the GOES X-ray class of the event.
OP lists the optical flare class.
10cm gives the 10.7 cm radioflux output of the event.
TYPE specifies the type of radiobursts observed.
Catania gives the Catania sunspot group number where the event happened.
NOAA is the corresponding NOAA active region number.
NOTE is the header of any other type of information, e.g. if a CME was observed associated with the event.
