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.

Stratwarm Alert Exists Stratwarm Tuesday
The circulation remains very disturbed after the recent major warming

reversal in zonal mean wind from 5 HPA upwards and in zonal mean
temperature from 50 HPA upwards.
