Energetic Events Begin Max End Rgn Loc Xray Op 245MHz 10cm Sweep 0147 0156 0159 B6.8 120 B. Proton Events: None C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary: The geomagnetic field was predominantly quiet to unsettled. Isolated active to minor storm conditions were observed between 03/1500 to 1800 UTC due to the effects of a favorably positioned coronal hole. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels during the past 24 hours. D. Stratwarm: ALERT: STRATWARM VALID FOR UTC DAY: 2003 JAN 03 UPPER STRATOSPHERIC WARMING, CENTERED WITH PLUS 29C AT 2HPA OVER 65N/0E, CONTINUES, SLOWLY WEAKENING; TEMPERATURE GRADIENT BETWEEN 69N AND THE POLE STILL REVERSED BETWEEN 10 AND 1HPA.
