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.

Joint USAF/NOAA Solar and Geophysical Activity Summary
SGAS Number 309 Issued at 0245Z on 05 Nov 2002 This report is compiled from data received at SWO on 04 NovA. Energetic Events
Begin Max End Rgn Loc Xray Op 245MHz 10cm Sweep None
B. Proton Events
None
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field was at
unsettled to active levels. The Bz component of the interplanetary
magnetic field was mostly southward and the solar wind speed was
elevated throughout the period in response to a geoeffective high
speed coronal hole stream.
