SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------

             Solar activity was very low. No flares were observed
       during the past 24 hours and the solar disk continues to be
       spotless.

            Solar activity forecast:  solar activity is expected to be very
       low.

            The geomagnetic field ranged from quiet to active levels. Unsettled
       to active levels prevailed from the beginning of the period through
       1200Z, after which conditions declined to quiet to unsettled levels
       through the end of the period. Real-time solar wind observations
       from ace show the continued presence of a recurrent high speed solar
       wind stream; solar wind velocity varied between 600-680 km/s
       throughout the day. The greater than 2 mev electron flux at
       geosynchronous altitude reached high levels during the past 24
       hours.

            Geophysical activity forecast:  the geomagnetic field is
       expected to be predominantly quiet to unsettled for the first day
       (21 october), although there is a chance for isolated active periods
       early in the day due to persistence from the high speed stream.
       Conditions are expected to be quiet for the second day (22 october)
       and quiet to unsettled for the third day (23 october).
