Proton Events: None C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. Solar wind speed began the period near 700 km/s following the arrival of a CME earlier yesterday. However, a weak IMF with sustained northward Bz offset any significant impact on the geomagnetic field. D. Stratwarm: None E.
