Geophysical report

Viewing archive of Tuesday, 24 May 2016

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.

Current data suggests there is a slight possibility for aurora to appear at the following high latitude regions in the near future

Nuuk

The solar wind speed is currently moderately high (554.6 km/sec.)

The strength of the interplanetary magnetic field is moderate (17.29nT), the direction is North (4.88nT).

The Disturbance Storm Time index predicts moderate storm conditions right now (-60nT)

The maximum X-ray flux of the past two hours is:
