Energetic Events Begin Max End Rgn Loc Xray Op 245MHz 10cm Sweep 1748 1755 1808 C2.5 160 2046 2104 2129 C6.3 150 B. Proton Events: None C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary: The geomagnetic field activity was at quiet to active levels. An isolated minor storm condition was observed at Fredericksburg at 06/2100 UTC, believed to be a result of a large, transequatorial coronal hole during it's waning stage. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit has been elevated throughout the period following the passage of the high speed stream. D. Stratwarm: STRATWARM ALERT EXISTS STRATWARM THURSDAY IN THE MIDDLE AND UPPER STRATOSPHERE, STILL DISTURBED CONDITIONS AFTER THE WARMING. STILL A REVERSED TEMPERATURE GRADIENT AT 10HPA, BUT FURTHER RETURNING TO NORMAL CONDITIONS. END OF THIS ALERT PERIOD. E.
