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

SGAS Number 103 Issued at 0245Z on 12 Apr 2004 This report is compiled from data received at SWO on 11 Apr

B. Proton Events
A greater than 10 MeV proton event began at 11/1135Z. The peak so far has been 35 pfu at 11/1845Z. The event was in decline by the end of the period. This proton event is likely associated with the C9 flare at 11/0419Z.
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. Solar wind speed began the period at elevated levels (over 500 km/s) following yesterday's CME arrival at 10/1925Z. However, IMF Bz stayed predominantly northward and as a result, the geomagnetic disturbance was weak.
