Energetic Events Begin Max End Rgn Loc Xray Op 245MHz 10cm Sweep 1432 1432 1433 210 B. Proton Events: The greater than 10 MeV proton event that began on 21/0225Z, and peaked on 21/2320Z at 2520 pfu, ended today at 26/0715Z. The 10 MeV proton flux remains elevated at near 5 pfu, but continues to slowly decline. C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet. D. Stratwarm: None E.
