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 quiet to
unsettled. A weak shock, due to activity on 30 August, was observed
at the L1 position by the NASA/ACE spacecraft at 03/1710 UTC.
Solar wind velocity reached a peak around 390 km/s and the IMF had a
Bz deflection of 10 nT. Current Bz is approximately -8 nT.
