Energetic Events Begin Max End Rgn Loc Xray Op 245MHz 10cm Sweep 0925 0957 1014 0306 N06E69 C2.6 Sf 190 54 B. Proton Events: None C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to unsettled levels. There was an isolated active period at mid latitudes in response to a southward oscillation in the Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field between 08/1500 and 1800Z. The coronal hole high speed stream that has been geoeffective for the past several days appears to have rotated out of its favorable position early in the period. The greater than 2 MeV electron fluxes at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels again today. D. Stratwarm: None E.
