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 Aug
A. Energetic Events
Begin  Max  End  Rgn   Loc   Xray  Op 245MHz 10cm   Sweep

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.
