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.

C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET TO MILDLY ACTIVE. SOLAR WIND SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 600 KM/S ARE STILL OCCURRING, LIKELY ORIGINATING FROM A WELL- POSITIONED CORONAL HOLE WEST OF CENTRAL MERIDIAN. THE GREATER THAN 2 MEV ELECTRON FLUX AT GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT APPROACHED HIGH LEVELS AT APPROXIMATELY 1500Z.
