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 VARIED FROM
QUIET TO MINOR STORM LEVELS DURING THE DAY. ABOUT 1200Z, SOLAR WIND
PLASMA AND MAGNETIC FIELD EXPERIENCED A CHANGE AT THE ACE
SPACECRAFT, RESULTING IN THE DISTURBED LEVELS SEEN DURING THE LATTER
HALF OF THE PERIOD. THESE DATA SUGGEST A GLANCING BLOW BY A
TRANSIENT AS THE CAUSE OF THE ELEVATED ACTIVITY. THE GREATER THAN 2
MEV ELECTRON FLUX AT GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT REACHED HIGH LEVELS FROM
1330-1630Z, APPROXIMATELY.
