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 unsettled to active levels with an isolated quiet period from 0300 UTC to 0600 UTC. The coronal hole induced high speed solar wind stream continues. The greater than 2 MeV electron fluxes at geo-synchronous orbit reached high levels today.
