Energetic Events Begin Max End Rgn Loc Xray Op 245MHz 10cm Sweep 0951 0951 0951 900 B. Proton Events: The greater than 10 MeV proton event that began at 11/1135Z, peaked at 35 pfu at 11/1845Z, and ended at 12/0405Z. This proton event is likely to be associated with the C9 flare that occurred at 11/0419Z. C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary: The geomagnetic field was at quiet to active levels. A shock passage was observed at the ACE spacecraft at approximately 12/1730Z and it is believed to be in response to the partial halo CME that was associated with the C2 flare that occurred on 09/2040Z. Once again, the IMF Bz remained predominantly northward and the geomagnetic response was weak. Solar wind speeds peaked at near 540 km/s shortly after the shock passage. D. Stratwarm: None E.
