SGAS Number 295 Issued at 0245Z on 22 Oct 2002
This report is compiled from data received at SWO on 21 Oct

B.  Proton Events:  None
C.  Geomagnetic Activity Summary:  The geomagnetic field was at quiet
to unsettled levels.  Solar wind speed has continued to gradually
decrease, ending the period near 525 km/s. The greater than 2 MeV
electron flux at geo-synchronous orbit reached high levels.
D.  Stratwarm:  None
E.  Daily Indices: (real-time preliminary/estimated values)

(GOES-8 satellite synchronous orbit W75 degrees)
Daily Electron Fluence
GT 2 MeV 7.20e+07 e/(cm2-ster-day)
(GOES-8 satellite synchronous orbit W75 degrees)
3 Hour K-indices:

F.  Comments:  Daily X-Ray Background Flux value is estimated from
plotted data, pending repair of the automated algorithm.  Repair is
in progress.
SSN is estimated based on SRS data.
