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 quiet to unsettled with a single active period at mostly higher latitudes between 11/0000 - 0300Z. Solar wind conditions, slightly elevated in recent days, have declined to normal levels. D. Stratwarm: STRATWARM ALERT/TUESDAY/STRATWARM EXISTS. IN THE MIDDLE AND UPPER STRATOSPHERE SLIGHTLY DISTURBED TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION WITH A WARM REGION OVER SIBERIA WHICH DEADS TO A REVERSED TEMPERATURE GRADIENT BETWEEN 60N AND THE POLE FROM 5 TO 1 HPA. E. Daily Indices: (real-time preliminary/estimated values) 10 cm 135 SSN 134 Afr/Ap 010/012 X-ray Background B3.1 Daily Proton Fluence (flux accumulation over 24 hrs) GT 1 MeV 8.2e+04 GT 10 MeV 1.4e+04 p/(cm2-ster-day) (GOES-8 satellite synchronous orbit W75 degrees) Daily Electron Fluence GT 2 MeV 3.80e+07 e/(cm2-ster-day) (GOES-8 satellite synchronous orbit W75 degrees) 3 Hour K-indices: Boulder 3 3 3 2 2 1 3 2 Planetary 4 3 3 2 2 3 3 1 F. Comments: The greater than 2 MeV electron fluxes at geosynchronous orbit once again reached high levels.
