Solar Activity
Solar activity reached moderate levels this period. Region 3647 (S13E07, Dac/beta-delta) produced three M-flares (R1/Minor), the largest of which was an M2.1 flare at 19/0453 UTC. Region 3647 began to show signs of separation of the shared penumbra between its principle spots. Region 3645 (S09E03, Dai/beta) underwent slight decay in its intermediate spot area and consolidation of the leader and trailing spots. Region 3639 (N29E05, Eai/beta-gamma) slowly decayed throughout the period. New Regions 3649 (N16W17, Bxi/beta) and 3650 (S11E28, Cro/beta) were numbered, but were otherwise unremarkable.
Solar Wind
Solar wind conditions became enhanced beginning at 19/0413 UTC due to CME activity. Following CME arrival, total field strength reached 16 nT and the Bz component was sustained southward after 19/0410 with a peak of -14 nT observed. Solar wind speeds reached a peak of 439 km/s at 19/1050 UTC.
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.
