Forecasts of 10.7 cm solar radio flux are integer forecasts of the daily observed flux at 2800 Mhz (10.7 cm) in solar flux units (10-22W m-2 Hz-1) and are verified against local-noon observations at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory, Penticton, British Columbia, Canada. Forecast lead times range from 1-day to 7-days. Verification results are provided on forecasts from July 1986 (the beginning of solar cycle 22) through December 2010.
