Geomagnetic Activity Summary: The geomagnetic field was at quiet to major storm levels. A CME was observed to pass the ACE spacecraft at around 02/2200Z. Though it was a relatively modest shock, several extended periods of southward IMF Bz ensued, creating the minor to major storm periods. The storm is assumed to be associated with the CME activity observed early on 30 Sep. D. Stratwarm: None E.
