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.

pfu event threshold at 20/1015 UTC (start 18/0315 UTC and 321 pfu
peak at 18/1045 UTC) and continues to slowly decay.
