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 ranged from quiet to minor storm levels. An isolated period of minor storm conditions existed at mid-latitudes from 13/0600 to 0900 UTC. Coronal hole high speed stream effects continued to be the main source of the elevated activity. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit exceeded event threshold at 13/1620 UTC, reached a maximum value of 1070 pfu at 13/1805 UTC, and fell below threshold value at 13/1810 UTC.
