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 at predominantly quiet to unsettled levels. Isolated active periods were observed at both middle and high latitudes during the interval. The greater than 2 MeV electron fluxes at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels today.
