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 257 Issued at 0245Z on 14 Sep 2017 This report is compiled from data received at SWO on 13 SepA. Energetic Events

B. Proton Events
The greater than 10 MeV proton flux reached S1
(Minor) levels with a peak flux of 98 pfu at 13/0630 UTC. The
greater than 100 MeV proton flux was below the 1 pfu
warning
threshold at the end of the period.
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field reached
minor storm conditions the first synoptic period, likely as
a
result of some influence from the 10 Sep far side CME. Levels
decreased to active, then to quiet as the period progressed.
