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 VARIED FROM UNSETTLED TO SEVERE STORM LEVELS. BOULDER MEASURED A SUDDEN COMMENCEMENT OF 19 NT AT 11/2353Z. MINOR TO SEVERE STORM CONDITIONS FOLLOWED OVER THE NEXT 15 HOURS. THIS ACTIVITY IS THOUGHT TO BE THE RESULT OF THE PASSAGE OF A CME THAT LEFT THE SUN ON 09 FEBRUARY. THE GREATER THAN 10 MEV PROTON FLUX AT GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT WAS SLIGHTLY ENHANCED, STARTING AROUND 0600Z. THE PEAK VALUE WAS 2 PFU AT 1120Z.
D. Stratwarm
STRATWARM ALERT/SATURDAY/STRATWARM EXISTS. INTENSE WARMING, CERNTERED OVER HUDSON STREET AT 10 HPA, CONTINUES. TEMPERATURE GRADIENT BETWEEN 60N AND THE POLE AT 5 HPA AND ABOVE.
