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 predominantly at unsettled levels. One period of isolated active conditions occurred. Solar wind velocity gradually decreased throughout the day from 540 km/s to 440 km/s and Bz was slightly negative for most of the day. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geo-synchronous orbit reached high levels today. D. Stratwarm: None E.
