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
The greater than 10 MeV proton event ended at 12/1040 UTC.
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field was unsettled to active with isolated minor storm periods. Activity was due to enhanced solar wind speeds coupled with prolonged periods of southward Bz.
