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 252 Issued at 0245Z on 09 Sep 2005 This report is compiled from data received at SWO on 08 Sep

B. Proton Events
A greater than 10 and greater than 100 MeV proton event occurred following yesterday's X17 flare on the southeast limb. The greater than 10 MeV proton event began at 08/0215Z and remains in progress. The peak flux so far was 112 pfu at 08/2155Z. The greater than 100 MeV proton event began at 08/0405Z and also remains in progress. The peak flux was 7.5 pfu at 08/1925Z. A greater than 100 MeV proton event from a source on the east limb is extremely rare.
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. A sudden disturbance of 41 nT (magnetic crochet) was observed in the geomagnetic field following today's X5 flare.
