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.

C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field has been
quiet to unsettled. The greater than 100 MeV proton event ended at
19/0325 UTC (start 18/0315 UTC, 12 pfu peak at 18/0600 UTC). The
polar cap absorption (PCA) event has also ended (19/1400 UTC). The
greater than 10 MeV proton event continues in progress (start
18/0315 UTC, 321 pfu peak at 18/1045 UTC, and current flux about 15
pfu at 19/2100 UTC) and is slowly decaying.
