Energetic Events Begin Max End Rgn Loc Xray Op 245MHz 10cm Sweep None B. Proton Events: None C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary: The geomagnetic field was at quiet to active levels. A weak transient was observed by the NASA/ACE spacecraft at approximately 24/1300 UTC. Solar wind speed increased to near 575 km/s and Bz was slightly negative. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geo-synchronous orbit reached high levels today. D. Stratwarm: None E.
