Solar Activity

Solar Wind
The solar wind environment reflected near-background conditions, with the exception of slightly elevated solar wind speeds, likely attributed to residual CH HSS influence. Total field strength was steady near 3 nT, the Bz component had no significant southward deflections, Phi remained in a positive orientation, and solar wind speeds averaged near 470 km/s.
Energetic Particle
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was at normal to moderate levels and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux was steady at background levels.
