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.

B. Proton Events
Greater than 10 MeV proton levels reached event threshold at 19/2225 UTC.
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
Geomagnetic activity was quiet to unsettled. Greater than 10 MeV proton levels were enhanced due to the two CMEs from Region 9661, but remained just below event threshold.
