Begin Max End Rgn Loc Xray Op 245MHz 10cm Sweep None
B. Proton Events
None
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field was at quiet
to active levels. A slow, yet steady, increase in the solar wind
speed along with intermittent periods of southward Bz allowed for
the active periods seen today.
