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 151 Issued at 0245Z on 31 May 2003 This report is compiled from data received at SWO on 30 May

B. Proton Events
The proton event at greater than 10 MeV has ended: 28/2335 UTC start, 121 pfu peak at 29/1530 UTC, and 30/0110 UTC end.
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field ranged from unsettled to severe storm levels. The field was mostly unsettled to active since about 30/0600 UTC with a single minor storm period from 30/1500-1800 UTC. The CME associated with the X1 flare early on 29 May was apparently observed to encounter the ACE spacecraft at about 30/1600 UTC. The shock in solar wind parameters was not strong and an SI was not clearly observed by ground magnetometers.
