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 105 Issued at 0245Z on 15 Apr 2001 This report is compiled from data received at SWO on 14 Apr

B. Proton Events
There were no proton events detected at geosynchronous orbit. However, the greater than 10 MeV proton flux continued at enhanced levels (due to recent major flare activity) as it gradually declined toward background levels.
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
Activity was at unsettled to active levels until 14/0900 UTC, then decreased to quiet to unsettled levels.
