Proton Events: The greater than 10 MeV proton event that began at 08/0215 UTC and reached a maximum of 1880 pfu at 11/0425 UTC ended at 16/0025 UTC. C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary: The geomagnetic field was at quiet to active levels. Active levels were the result of the high solar wind speeds early in the UTC day. The solar wind speed declined over the past 24 hours from about 700 km/s to about 575 km/s. D. Stratwarm: Not Available E.
