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 was at quiet
to minor storm levels. A six-hour period of southward Bz (02Z to
08Z) was associated with a sector boundary crossing and resulted in
active to minor storm conditions (03Z to 09Z). Greater than 2 MeV
electron flux at geo-synchronous orbit reached high levels today.
