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 unsettled to active with isolated minor storm periods at high latitudes. Solar wind signatures early this period indicate a transition from transient flow to a high speed coronal hole stream. Solar wind speed began the period near 400 km/s, but gradually increased to near 650 km/s by end of period. D. Stratwarm: STRATWARM ALERT / SUNDAY / STRATWARM EXISTS A LARGE WARM REGION OVER ASIA INTENSIFIES AND MOVES POLEWARDS WHILE THE COLD REGION WEAKENS, INDICATING THE BEGINNING OF THE FINAL WARMING. E.
