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 041 Issued at 0245Z on 10 Feb 2003 This report is compiled from data received at SWO on 09 Feb
A. Energetic Events
Begin  Max  End  Rgn   Loc   Xray  Op 245MHz 10cm   Sweep
None
B. Proton Events
None
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet to unsettled with isolated active periods. Solar wind conditions were at near nominal levels, but periods of weak southward IMF Bz yielded the occasional active periods.
D. Stratwarm
STRATWARM ALERT / SUNDAY / STRATWARM EXISTS. IN THE MIDDLE AND UPPER STRATOSPHERE, STILL DISTURBED TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION WITH A DECAYING WARM REGION OVER NORTHERN SIBERIA WHICH STILL LEADS TO A REVERSED TEMPERATURE GRADIENT BETWEEN 60N AND THE POLE FROM 3 TO1 HPA.

F. Comments
  The greater than 2 MeV electron fluxes at
geosynchronous orbit remain considerably enhanced, reaching high
levels again this period.
