Joint USAF/NOAA Solar and Geophysical Activity Summary
SGAS Number 357 Issued at 0245Z on 23 Dec 2002
This report is compiled from data received at SWO on 22 Dec

B.  Proton Events:  None
C.  Geomagnetic Activity Summary:  The geomagnetic field was at quiet
to unsettled levels with an isolated active period at middle and
high latitudes between 22/1800 and 2100 UTC.  The NASA/ACE
instrument detected a weak shock passage at approximately 22/1300
UTC.  The Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field has been
predominantly north since transient onset.  The greater than 2 MeV
electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached moderate levels today.
D.  Stratwarm:  None
