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
The greater than 10 MeV proton event continues in
progress. The shock passage produced a very slight enhancement of
the particle flux levels.
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field was quiet to
minor storm. A shock in the solar wind was observed on ACE data at
04/1422Z. After the shock, the solar wind displayed high speeds.
The shock and subsequent enhanced solar wind flow are most likely to
have been produced by the combined drivers from CME's out of Region
9393 on 2 April.
