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 was at quiet
to unsettled conditions. NASA/ACE spacecraft indicates the possible
development of a transient shock. A sharp rise in low energy
protons (EPAM instrument) was observed early on 17 November to near
10^4 pfu.
