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.

None.
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels for most of the day. Conditions became enhanced late in the day when active levels were reached during the 12/1800-2100 UTC synoptic period and minor storm levels were reached during the 12/2100-2359 UTC synoptic period, mainly due to CIR and CH HSS effects.
