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.

None
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field was at quiet
to active levels. Influences from yesterdays favorably positioned
coronal hole have waned as the solar wind speed has dropped to
approximately 400 km/s. The greater than 2 MeV electron fluxes
reached high levels today.
