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 active. Active periods due to the continued influence of a geoeffective high speed coronal hole stream. Solar wind speed at ACE has decreased from approximately 640 km/s to 510 km/s. D. Stratwarm: None. E. Daily Indices: (real-time preliminary/estimated values) 10 cm 091 SSN 040 Afr/Ap 008/012 X-ray Background B1.1 Daily Proton Fluence (flux accumulation over 24 hrs) GT 1 MeV 1.2e+06 GT 10 MeV 1.5e+04 p/(cm2-ster-day) (GOES-11 satellite synchronous orbit W105 degrees) Daily Electron Fluence GT 2 MeV 5.70e+07 e/(cm2-ster-day) (GOES-12 satellite synchronous orbit W76 degrees) 3 Hour K-indices: Boulder 3 3 2 2 3 2 2 1 Planetary 4 4 2 2 3 2 1 1 F.
