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.

F. Comments
  H-ALPHA, YOHKOH, AND SPACE-BASED CORONAGRAPH DATA
INDICATE A LARGE CME OCCURRED TODAY AT APPROXIMATELY 07/0230Z. THE
CME SPANNED THE SOLAR DISK FROM THE WEST LIMB NEAR N00W90,
SOUTHEASTWARD ALONG THE SOUTHERN POLAR CROWN FILAMENT CHANNEL, TO
THE EAST LIMB NEAR S40E90. THIS SUGGESTS A SPAN OF SOME 200 DEGREES.
