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 with isolated active levels late in the period. A gradual increase in solar wind speed began about 16/0500Z. Speed increased from near 350 km/s to 600 km/s by the end of the day. This is likely the onset of a recurrent high speed stream. D. Stratwarm: None. E. Daily Indices: (real-time preliminary/estimated values) 10 cm 090 SSN 014 Afr/Ap 008/010 X-ray Background B1.5 Daily Proton Fluence (flux accumulation over 24 hrs) GT 1 MeV 4.1e+05 GT 10 MeV 1.4e+04 p/(cm2-ster-day) (GOES-11 satellite synchronous orbit W105 degrees) Daily Electron Fluence GT 2 MeV 3.80e+06 e/(cm2-ster-day) (GOES-12 satellite synchronous orbit W76 degrees) 3 Hour K-indices: Boulder 1 3 2 1 3 2 3 4 Planetary 1 3 2 1 2 2 4 3 F.
