Energetic Events Begin Max End Rgn Loc Xray Op 245MHz 10cm Sweep 1227 1227 1227 1200 42 B. Proton Events: None. C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled with an active period on 25 October between 0900 and 1200 UTC. The active period was most likely due to a geoeffective coronal hole. ACE data show solar wind speed has remained around 500 km/s, however the total interplanetary magnetic field strength has decreased from approximately 10 nT to 4 nT. D. Stratwarm: None. E.
