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 active. Solar wind speed remains elevated, ranging 600 - 650 km/s since late on 21 December. This high speed stream is associated with a well positioned transequatorial coronal hole. D. Stratwarm: STRATWARM ALERT / MONDAY / STRATWARM EXISTS. INTENSE WARMING OVER SIBERIA / EUROPE CONTINUES IN THE UPPER STRATOSPHERE WITH RELATIVELY UNDISTURBED CONDITIONS IN THE LOWER STRATOSPHERE UP TO THE 10 HPA LEVEL. E.
