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
unsettled.
D. Stratwarm
Stratwarm alert exists Thursday.
As a result of the major warming, the circulation in the lower
stratosphere remains disturbed. Reversed temperature gradient
between 60N and the pole in the lower and middle stratosphere.
