Energetic Events Begin Max End Rgn Loc Xray Op 245MHz 10cm Sweep None B. Proton Events: The greater than 10 MeV protons at geosynchronous orbit remain elevated, but are slowly returning to baseline following the proton event that began on 21 Apr and ended on the 26th. C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary: The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet, but became unsettled late in the period. Solar wind indices on ACE suggest that we are transitioning into a high speed coronal hole stream. D. Stratwarm: None E. Daily Indices: (real-time preliminary/estimated values) 10 cm 157 SSN 173 Afr/Ap 008/008 X-ray Background B7.2 Daily Proton Fluence (flux accumulation over 24 hrs) GT 1 MeV 2.0e+06 GT 10 MeV 3.6e+05 p/(cm2-ster-day) (GOES-8 satellite synchronous orbit W75 degrees) Daily Electron Fluence GT 2 MeV 1.60e+07 e/(cm2-ster-day) (GOES-8 satellite synchronous orbit W75 degrees) 3 Hour K-indices: Boulder 2 1 2 2 3 3 2 3 Planetary 2 1 1 2 3 3 3 3 F.
