Proton Events: Proton levels are high. A 10 MeV proton event began at 23/0530Z and reached a peak of 3630 pfu at 23/2330Z and remains elevated. A 100 MeV proton event began at 23/0445Z and reached a maximum of 2.3 pfu at 23/0750Z before decreasing below the 1 pfu threshold. C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary: The geomagnetic field began the period at minor storm levels and then decreased to mostly quiet for the remainder of the day. D. Stratwarm: Not Available E.
