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 264 Issued at 0245Z on 20 Sep 2004 This report is compiled from data received at SWO on 19 Sep

B. Proton Events
A greater than 10 MeV proton event followed today's M1 flare at 19/1712Z. The proton event began at 19/1925Z and was still in progress at the time of issue. The maximum flux value so far is 47 pfu at 19/2335Z. A greater than 100 MeV proton flux enhancement was also observed, but has not exceeded the 1 pfu event threshold.
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. Solar wind speed was generally below 400 km/s.
