Proton Events: The greater than 10 MeV proton event that began at 07/1910Z remains in progress (currently ranging from 50 - 100 pfu). The maximum so far was 495 pfu at 08/0115Z. C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary: The geomagnetic field ranged from quiet to minor storm levels. The most disturbed levels followed a prolonged period of southward Bz between 11/03 - 07Z. Solar wind speed was elevated between 550 and 650 km/s. A 12 nT sudden impulse was observed at the geomagnetic field at 11/1714Z. Solar wind plasma and magnetic field measurements at ACE indicate weak transient flow, likely from the CME activity on 09 - 10 November. D. Stratwarm: None E.
