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 130 Issued at 0245Z on 10 May 2001 This report is compiled from data received at SWO on 09 MayA. Energetic Events
Begin Max End Rgn Loc Xray Op 245MHz 10cm Sweep None
B. Proton Events
The greater than 10 MeV proton event that began
at 07/1915 UTC ended at 08/1935 UTC. The peak of the event was 30
pfu at 08/0755 UTC. The greater than 2 MeV electron fluxes attained
high levels briefly during the past 24 hours.
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field ranged from
unsettled to minor storm levels during the past 24 hours. Enhanced
solar wind velocity, and periods of sustained southward solar wind
magnetic field orientation led to an increase in geomagnetic
activity. The plasma and field parameters appear to be consistent
with the passage of an interplanetary transient. Minor storm periods
were observed from 0000-0600 UTC, and active conditions dominated
most of the remainder of the day.
