Solar Activity
Solar activity was at low levels. Regions 4122 (N12W11, Dso/beta) and 4128 (S04E26, Dao/beta) began the period producing low level C-class flares as the latter exhibited decay in its leading spots. Newly numbered 4130 (S12E68, Axx/alpha) produced multiple low level C-class flares during the second half of the period as it rotated into view onto the eastern limb. Region 4129 (N02E38, Cri/beta-gamma) developed rapidly and was thus numbered, but was overall relatively quiet. New spots were noted just southeast of AR 4128, but appeared to be in rapid decay. Additionally, new spots were observed near S17E71, but remain unnumbered at this time as we await additional imagery to perform proper analysis and classification. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.
Solar Wind
Solar wind parameters reflected weakening negative polarity CH HSS influence. Total IMF strength ranged 3-7 nT and the Bz component was +/-6 nT. Solar wind speeds varied from ~430 km/s to near 500 km/s. Phi was predominantly negative while undertaking several brief excursions into the positive solar sector.
Energetic Particle
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached high levels with a peak flux of 8,730 pfu observed at 30/1625 UTC. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux was at background levels.
