Energetic Events Begin Max End Rgn Loc Xray Op 245MHz 10cm Sweep 0000 0304 IV B. Proton Events: The greater than 100 MeV proton event at geosynchronous orbit that began at 07/0405Z, reached a maximum of 69 pfu at 07/1525Z, and was in progress at the close of the period. The greater than 10 MeV proton event that began at 07/0510Z, reached a maximum of 6530 pfu at 08/1115Z, and was in progress at the close of the period. C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary: Geomagnetic field activity ranged from quiet to major storm levels. Activity increased from quiet levels to active to major storm levels following a geomagnetic sudden impulse at 08/1105Z (59 nT, Boulder USGS magnetometer). D. Stratwarm: Not Available E.
