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
HE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS PREDOMINANTLY UNSETTLED TO ACTIVE. ISOLATED MINOR STORMING WAS ALSO OBSERVED. THE SOURCE OF THIS DISTURBANCE IS UNKNOWN. SOLAR WIND PARAMETERS WERE REASONABLY BENIGN EXCEPT FOR SOME PERIODS OF NEGATIVE BZ AND THE PASSAGE OF A SECTOR BOUNDARY DURING THE PERIOD.
D. Stratwarm
STRATWARM ALERT EXISTS STRATWARM FRIDAY FINAL WARMING SLOWLY PROGRESSES. THE WARM CENTER OVER NORTHERN SIBERIA/NORTHEASTERN EUROPE EXTENDS FURTHER POLEWARDS WHILE THE RESTS OF THE COLD AIR WILL BE SHIFTED TO MIDDLE LATITUDES. THE WEAKENING VORTEX MOVES FROM THE CANADIAN TO THE EUROPEAN ARCTIC AND AN ANTICYCLONE DEVELOPS OVER ALASKA AND THE ADJACENT ARCTIC. TEMPERATURE GRADIENT REVERSED BETWEEN 60N AND THE POLE IN THE MIDDLE AND UPPER STRATOSPHERE AND CIRCULATION REVERSAL EXPECTED AROUND MID-APRIL. LAST MESSAGE OF THIS WINTER SEASON.
