Energetic Events Begin Max End Rgn Loc Xray Op 245MHz 10cm Sweep None B. Proton Events: None C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to unsettled levels. D. Stratwarm: None E. Daily Indices: (real-time preliminary/estimated values) 10 cm 086 SSN 036 Afr/Ap 004/008 X-ray Background A5.8 Daily Proton Fluence (flux accumulation over 24 hrs) GT 1 MeV 5.5e+05 GT 10 MeV 1.4e+04 p/(cm2-ster-day) (GOES-11 satellite synchronous orbit W98 degrees) Daily Electron Fluence GT 2 MeV 4.60e+07 e/(cm2-ster-day) (GOES-12 satellite synchronous orbit W75 degrees) 3 Hour K-indices: Boulder 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 Planetary 2 2 0 2 2 3 3 3 F. Comments: The ACE spacecraft orbit will bring ACE to its closest approach with the Sun on August 30, 2004. During that time possible solar radio noise may interfere with spacecraft telemetry resulting in the loss of real time solar wind plasma, magnetic field, and particle data.
