Geomagnetic Activity Summary: The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet, with some isolated unsettled periods during 02/1500-2100 UTC. D. Stratwarm: STRATWARM ALERT EXISTS STRATWARM SATURDAY Throughout the stratosphere, disturbed circulation pattern with the warm air over the polar region and eastern Asia and a displaced vortex over northern Siberia, leading to a reversed temperature gradient between 60N and the pole from 100 to 2hpa and weak mean zonal easterly winds at 60N at 3 and 2hpa.
