Geomagnetic Activity Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet, with an isolated unsettled period during 0000-0300 UTC observed at Boulder. The greater-than-2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at moderate levels (above 1000 pfu) during local dawn and daytime hours. D. Stratwarm: STRATWARM ALERT/WEDNESDAY/STRATWARM EXISTS. MAJOR WARMING IN PROGRESS. THE VORTEX CENTRE DISPLACED TO CANADA AND MOVING DUE WEST COINCIDENT WITH THE COLDEST AIR. THE WARM AIR TRAVELS TOWARDS THE BARENTS SEA AND AN ANTICYCLONE DEVELOPS OVER NORTHERN EUROPE. E.
