11/14/98 Energetic electrons fluxes at greater than 2 MeV have
increased to high to very high levels over the last 24 hours. Fluence levels
have increased to moderate levels and are continuing to increase toward high
levels. The source of this activity is a high-speed solar coronal hole wind
stream. There is an increasing risk for deep-dielectric charging related
anomalies on spacecraft exposed to the high-density electron environment.
Spacecraft in geosynchronous and high-inclination orbits are the most
susceptible. These conditions are expected to persist for at least the
next 3 to 5 days.

NOTE: bizarre upswelling X-ray flux unlike anything seen previously.

11/14/98: Protons at greater than 10 MeV have exceeded the
event threshold of 10 pfu and are very rapidly increasing beyond 100 pfu.
Proton densities are continuing to increase at the time of this writing.
Polar cap absorption is also increasing rapidly and is beginning to heavily
affect polar and high latitude radio signal propagation on the HF bands.
The effects are propagating into the middle latitude regions due to
the expansion of the auroral ovals into the middle latitudes during the current
geomagnetic and auroral storm activity. A much higher population of
communications may therefore be affected during this proton
event.

TROUBLING STATEMENT FROM THE AMERICAN
ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY:
We have made direct comparisons
with the observations made with the X-ray monitors on GOES7, GOES8, and GOES9
where we have folded the measured spectrum through the GOES response functions.
The NEAR PIN detector PHA completely spans the effective response of the
GOES short wavelength channel, commonly 0.5-4 Angstroms, and shows significantly
more flux over this effective bandwidth. For the NEAR measurement best
represented by an isothermal over the effective energy range, the NEAR derived
GOES fluxes would be 30-50% larger than those reported.

Magnetic Storm Event Beginning 11.13.98 0400
UTC
At approximately 0200 UTC [9:00 am EST] a sudden sharp
disturbance impacted the Magnetic field. The electron reading went into sudden
flux and the magnetometer readings at the GOES satellites dropped rapidly
from around 130 to around 30. The planetary magnetism [kP] readings jumped
from 1 to 5 [red bar/storm level] following this impact on the magnetic
field.
This disturbance is most likely in association with the
CME observed on November 9th, but is surprisingly sudden and potent in it's
onset and could possibly indicate a more significant event than the active
to isolated minor storm conditions that were previously forecast by the SEC.
No magnetic storm watches had been issued... as this event was forecast to
remain below watch parameters.
Proton Event/Magnetic Storm Occurring 11.14.98
1400 UTC
As of around 0800 UTC [3 am EST] this morning, a Proton
event began. This event was large enough to warrant event warnings
from the SEC, and the event is still continuing now. Once again this Proton
event was not preceded by the typical major flare event that one would
expect.
The Magnetic storm that began yesterday is continuing
uninterrupted, with planetary magnetism [kP] readings having been in the
"red" [storm levels] for 36 hours continuously now. The GOES magnetometer
readings continue to be quite volatile and dropped to near zero again early
this morning.
