Solar Activity
Solar activity was at low levels. The largest flare was a C8.2 at 12/1401 UTC related to a filament eruption near N17W90. Slight decay was observed in Region 3883 (S06W74, Eao/beta) and 3889 (S09W02, Fki/beta-gamma-delta). The rest of the spotted regions were either stable or in decay. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed.
Solar Wind
Solar wind parameters were nominal. Solar wind speed ranged from 340 km/s to 415 km/s. Total field ranged from 2-6 nT while the Bz component was between +/-5 nT. Phi angle was mostly positive.
Energetic Particle
The greater than 10 MeV proton flux was at background levels and the greater than 2 MeV electron flux was at normal to moderate levels.
