B.  Proton Events:  The greater than 10 MeV proton event that began
at 18/1300 UTC and reached a maximum of 53 pfu at 19/0650 UTC
dropped below event threshold at 19/2340 UTC. However, the fluxes
remained enhanced and crossed threshold again at 20/1510 UTC in
response to a new interplanetary shock. The subsequent peak was 19
pfu at 1525 UTC, and the fluxes have remained below threshold since
20/1820 UTC.
C.  Geomagnetic Activity Summary:  The geomagnetic field ranged from
quiet to active levels. A sudden impulse was observed at 30/1329
UTC.
D.  Stratwarm:  None
