Energetic Events Begin Max End Rgn Loc Xray Op 245MHz 10cm Sweep None B. Proton Events: None C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary: The geomagnetic field ranged from quiet to major storm levels. An enhancement of the solar wind speed occurred near 20/1000Z (400 km/sec to 550/ km/sec) due to a geoeffective coronal hole. A brief period of major storm levels occurred at higher latitudes between 20/1500 and 1800Z. D. Stratwarm: Not Available E.
