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

B. Proton Events
A slow, gradual rise in the greater than 10 MeV
protons began soon after yesterday's M5 event. The 10 pfu alert
threshold was finally reached at 14/0245Z. A second, larger influx
of high energy protons followed today's X1 flare. The greater than
10 MeV proton flux were still slowly increasing at issue time, and
the peak flux so far is 102 pfu at 14/2355Z.
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field was quiet to
active. Solar wind speed remains elevated near 500 km/s, but is
declining. The most disturbed geomagnetic periods occurred between
14/0100 - 1300Z when the IMF Bz was predominantly southward.
