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 ranged from
quiet to active levels. A shock passage was observed by the ACE
spacecraft at approximately 01/0130Z. This transient is believed to
be the result of the long duration C2 x-ray flare that peaked at
29/1304Z from old Region 652 (N08, L=348) while it was exiting the
west limb. The Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field
went south for a brief period of time allowing for observed active
periods between 01/0130 and 0300Z.
