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 unsettled. D. Stratwarm: None E. Daily Indices: (real-time preliminary/estimated values) 10 cm 111 SSN 147 Afr/Ap 005/005 X-ray Background B2.3 Daily Proton Fluence (flux accumulation over 24 hrs) GT 1 MeV 1.2e+05 GT 10 MeV 1.4e+04 p/(cm2-ster-day) (GOES-11 satellite synchronous orbit W97 degrees) Daily Electron Fluence GT 2 MeV 1.20e+06 e/(cm2-ster-day) (GOES-12 satellite synchronous orbit W75 degrees) 3 Hour K-indices: Boulder 1 1 1 1 2 2 3 2 Planetary 2 1 0 1 2 3 2 2 F. Comments: The ACE spacecraft orbit will bring ACE nearly in line with the Sun from about 30 May to 02 June, 2004. During that time solar radio noise is expected to interfere with spacecraft telemetry resulting in the loss of solar wind plasma, magnetic field, and particle data.
