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

SGAS Number 251 Issued at 0245Z on 08 Sep 2005 This report is compiled from data received at SWO on 07 Sep

B. Proton Events
A slow rise in the greater than 10 and greater than 100 MeV protons at geosynchronous orbit began late in the period. The greater than 10 MeV protons will likely cross the 10 pfu threshold on 08 Sep.
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field was quiet to active. Today's powerful X17 flare produced a sudden disturbance in the geomagnetic field at 07/1725Z. This 82 nT magnetic crochet was one of the largest observed this Solar Cycle.
