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 fluxes at
geosynchronous orbit which began at 28/1201Z and had two distinct
maximum measurements (29,000 pfu at 29/0615Z; from the X17 flare and
3,300 pfu at 30/1935Z; from the X10 flare) has ended at 01/1310Z.
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field was at
unsettled to minor storm levels. Solar wind speeds have gradually
decreased from the start of the period when they were approximately
800 km/s, currently down to 550 km/s (at the time of this writing)
while the Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field has
remained predominantly northward during the period.
