Solar Activity
Solar activity returned to low levels with only C-class flares observed. Region 3901 (S07E24, Dai/beta-gamma) was responsible for nearly all of the flare activity throughout the period. This region exhibited growth in its trailing spot area and maintained its gamma configuration. New Regions 3903 (S10W17, Cai/beta), 3904 (S13W63, Cao/beta), and 3905 S09E77, Hax/alpha) developed and were numbered this period. The remaining regions were either stable or displayed slight decay.
Solar Wind
Solar wind parameters were indicative of a likely SSBC as the anticipated negative polarity CH HSS moved into a geoeffective position. Solar wind speeds averaged near 400 km/s, total field strength ranged between 2-10nT, and the Bz component fluctuated between +/-7 nT. The phi angle was predominantly in a negative position, with occasional oscillations into a positive orientation.
Energetic Particle
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was normal to moderate levels. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux reached S1 (Minor) levels, reaching a peak value of 43 pfu thus far. The 100 MeV proton levels reached a peak value of 7 pfu at 21/2010 UTC.
