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.

None
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field was at quiet
to active levels. A lingering southern coronal hole extension is
believed to be responsible for the elevated conditions. The greater
than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels
today.
D. Stratwarm
STRATWARM ALERT/TUESDAY/STRATWARM EXISTS.
DECAYING WARMING, BUT STILL DISTURBED POLAR VORTEX THROUGHOUT THE
STRATOSPHERE. REVERSED TERMERATURE GRADIENT BETWEEN 60N AND THE POLE
FROM 50 TO 10 HPA.
