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 fluxes at
geosynchronous orbit have been on a steady decrease through the
period and continue above alert levels; the event began at 02/1105Z,
and had a maximum of 1570 pfu's which was observed at 03/0815Z.
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field was at quiet
to severe storm levels. A shock passage occurred at the ACE
satellite at approximately 04/0600Z due to the CME from the X8
event on 02 Nov. A sudden impulse of 72 nT was observed by the
Boulder magnetometer at 04/0627Z.
