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.

None
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field ranged from quiet to minor storm levels. A weak shock was observed at the ACE spacecraft just before 19/0600Z. Solar wind speed gradually increased to over 750 km/s by late in the period, but total magnetic field measurements and densities remained very low. This disturbance is likely associated with the C8 flare and CME observed on 17 September
