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 Monday
Major warming continues. A large warm area covers the polar region,
Siberia, Europe and the Atlantic region, leading to a reversed
temperature gradient between 60n and the pole in the whole of the
stratosphere. Except in the uppermost level, a polar anticyclone and
a split, southward displaced vortex lead to easterly winds at
latitude 60n throughout the stratosphere.
