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 074 Issued at 0245Z on 15 Mar 2001 This report is compiled from data received at SWO on 14 Mar

C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled.
D. Stratwarm
stratwarm alert/wednesday/stratwarm exists. as a result of the major warming the circulation in the lower stratosphere remains further disturbed leading to a reversed temperature gradient up to 20 hpa. in the middle and upper stratosphere the cold and elongated vortex weakens. slow transitions to summer conditions most probable.
