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 021 Issued at 0245Z on 21 Jan 2016 This report is compiled from data received at SWO on 20 JanA. Energetic Events
Begin Max End Rgn Loc Xray Op 245MHz 10cm Sweep None
B. Proton Events
None.
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field was at quiet
to minor storm levels under the influence of the CME. Minor storm
levels are attributed to a sustained, far-southward Bz component of
the solar
winds magnetic field.
