Proton Events: The greater than 10 MeV proton flux has been slowly increasing over the past 24 hours, apparently due to a backside solar event over the northwest limb. Current proton flux is about 6 pfu. C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. D. Stratwarm: None E.
