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.

Joint USAF/NOAA Solar and Geophysical Activity Summary
SGAS Number 052 Issued at 0245Z on 21 Feb 2001 This report is compiled from data received at SWO on 20 FebA. Energetic Events
Begin Max End Rgn Loc Xray Op 245MHz 10cm Sweep None
B. Proton Events
None
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field ranged from
quiet to active levels.
D. Stratwarm
Stratwarm Alert Exists Tuesday
Major warming continues. A large warm area covers the polar region,
Siberia, Europe, and the eastern Atlantic, leading to a reversed
temperature gradient between 60N and the pole up to 5 HPA. Displaced
vortex lead to net easterly winds at latitude 60N throughout the
stratosphere.
