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.

B. Proton Events
The greater than 10 MeV proton flux was at (Moderate-Strong radiation storm) levels, with a peak flux of 1,490 pfu at 11/1145 UTC. The greater than 100 MeV proton flux event that began at 10/1625 UTC and reached a peaked of 68 pfu at 10/2215 UTC, was still at 60 pfu at 11/0045 UTC before declining to near 10 pfu at the end of the period.
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field began the period at active levels before decreasing to unsettled, then quiet levels for the remainder of the period.
