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.

C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS PREDOMINANTLY QUIET. BRIEF UNSETTLED CONDITIONS WERE EXPERIENCED IN THE 07/0300-0600Z PERIOD. SOLAR WIND VELOCITY SLOWLY DECLINED TO BELOW 400 KM/S NEAR THE END OF THE PERIOD. ENERGETIC (GT 10 MEV) PROTON FLUXES REMAINED SLIGHTLY ELEVATED ABOVE BACKGROUND DURING THE PERIOD BUT WERE DECLINING.
