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 mostly quiet to active with an isolated minor storm period between 15/0000 - 0300Z. Solar wind speed is still slightly elevated, but is in slow decline. The IMF Bz was predominantly southward near -5 nT. D. Stratwarm: None E.
