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 218 Issued at 0245Z on 06 Aug 2003 This report is compiled from data received at SWO on 05 AugA. Energetic Events

B. Proton Events
None.
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
Geomagnetic activity has been
quiet to active. Solar wind speeds have steadily decreased through
the period, as a coronal hole has rotated out of geoeffective
position.
D. Stratwarm
None.
