Geophysical report
Any mentioned solar flare in this report has a scaling factor applied by the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC). Because of the SWPC scaling factor, solar flares are reported as 42% smaller than for the science quality data. The scaling factor has been removed from our archived solar flare data to reflect the true physical units.

C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field was quiet to
minor storm.
D. Stratwarm
Stratwarm alert exists.
As a result of the major warming, the circulation
in the lower stratosphere remains disturbed, but
in the upper and middle stratosphere, a
re-established cold polar vortex exists.
