Geophysical 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.

B. Proton Events
THE GT 100 MEV FLUX BEGAN RISING AT 06/0825Z AND REACHED A MAXIMUM OF 2.9 PFU AT 06/0840Z. FLUXES DECAYED SLOWLY DURING THE DAY AND WERE NEAR BACKGROUND AT THE END OF THE PERIOD. THE GT 10 MEV FLUX BEGAN TO RISE AT THE SAME TIME AND REACHED A MAXIMUM OF 210 PFU AT 06/0945Z AND THEN BEGAN TO SLOWLY DECAY. FLUXES WERE NEAR 10 PFU AT THE END OF THE PERIOD.
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
