B.  Proton Events:  None.
C.  Geomagnetic Activity Summary:  The geomagnetic field ranged from
unsettled to minor storm periods with isolated major storm levels at
high latitudes. A gradual rise in the solar wind speed began early
in the period, rising to a peak speed near 700 km/s, before
gradually declining to near 550 km/s. The IMF Bz was predominantly
southward during the first half of the period, which accounted for
the most disturbed conditions. A greater than 10 MeV proton
enhancement began soon after today's long duration M8 flare.
D.  Stratwarm:  None.
