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 greater than 10 MeV proton flux at geosynchronous orbit exceeded threshold at 22/1910 UTC. At the time of issue of this bulletin the 10 MeV proton flux was at 16 pfu.
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field was at minor to major storm levels. The second CME passage that had been expected today appears to have been incorporated into the first creating minor to major storm conditions for the entire period aside from a couple isolated severe storm conditions at some stations.
