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.

B. Proton Events
A greater than 10 MeV proton event from the X28
flare began at 04/2225Z, reached a peak value of 353 pfu at
05/0600Z, and is currently in progress, but declining. A greater
than 100 MeV proton event began at 05/0535Z, reached a peak value of
1.3 pfu at 05/0540Z, and ended at 05/0705Z.
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field was at quiet
to unsettled levels.

F. Comments
The GOES EPS instrument for greater than 2 MeV electron measurement at geosynchronous orbit is exhibiting proton contamination at this time, making the 2 MeV electron fluence data unreliable.
