Proton Events: A greater than 10 MeV proton event began at 11/1135Z. The peak so far has been 35 pfu at 11/1845Z. The event was in decline by the end of the period. This proton event is likely associated with the C9 flare at 11/0419Z. C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. Solar wind speed began the period at elevated levels (over 500 km/s) following yesterday's CME arrival at 10/1925Z. However, IMF Bz stayed predominantly northward and as a result, the geomagnetic disturbance was weak. D. Stratwarm: None E.
