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 AT ACTIVE TO SEVERE STORM LEVELS THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD. A SUDDEN STORM COMMENCEMENT MEASURING 43 NANOTESLAS AT BOULDER, OCCURRED AT 18/0250Z. THE ACE SPACECRAFT MEASURED SOLAR WIND VELOCITIES NEAR 700 KM/S, AND SOUTHWARD IMF OF APPROXIMATELY 20 NT, FOR HOURS FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF THE SHOCK. THE SOLAR ORIGIN OF THIS ACTIVITY IS THOUGHT TO BE THE LONG-DURATION M-CLASS EVENT FROM NEAR CENTER DISK, EARLY ON FEBRUARY 16. A FORBUSH DECREASE BEGAN EARLY IN THE DAY, AS MEASURED BY NEUTRON MONITOR DATA.
D. Stratwarm
STRATWARM ALERT/THURSDAY/STRATWARM EXISTS. INTENSIFYING WARMING OVER NORTHEASTERN / EASTERN SIBERIA AND ALEUTIAN AREA CONTINUES. THE WARM AIR SPREADING NORTHWARDS. A SECOND INTENSIFYING WARMING EXISTS OVER BLACK SEA, INFLU- ENCING THE EUROPEAN PART OF RUSSIA.
