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 event that began at 08/0215 Z and reached a peak flux of 1880 pfu at 11/0425 Z is still in progress and has declined to near 10 pfu.
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field was at active to major storm levels. A shock was observed by the ACE spacecraft at approximately 12/0600 UTC. Solar wind speed at ACE increased to over a thousand km/s; however, the IMF Bz never went lower than -12 nT. Minor to major storm levels occurred at all latitudes following the shock. Solar wind speed gradually declined to near 800 km/s by the end of the period.
