Solar Activity
Solar activity was very low. Multiple low level B-class flares were observed from Region 2804 (N18W46, Dsi/beta). Slight decay was observed in the intermediate spots of the region. Region 2805 (S22W41, Axx/alpha) continued to decay over the period. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed.
Solar Wind
Solar wind parameters were slightly enhanced under persistent CME effects. Solar wind speed decreased from approximately 500 km/s to near 435 km/s. Total field ranged from 1-6 nT while the Bz component was between +/-5 nT. Phi angle was variable throughout the period.
Energetic Particle
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was at normal to moderate levels. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux remained at background levels.
