This report is compiled from data received at SWO on 17 Jan
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 quiet to
unsettled
D.  Stratwarm:  STRATWARM ALERT/FRIDAY/STRATWARM EXISTS
STRONG WARMING CONTINUES OVER THE SIBERIAN ARCTIC AND NORTHERN EUROPE
LEADING TO A REVERSED TEMPERATURE GRADIENT BETWEEN 60N AND THE POLE
FROM 30 HPA UPWARDS AND EASTERLY WINDS AT 60N FROM 5 TO 1 HPA.
WITHIN THE NEXT TWO DAYS, THE FORECAST INDICATES A SPLITTING OF THE
POLAR VORTEX THROUGHOUT THE STRATOSPHERE WITH EASTERLY WINDS AT 60N
DOWN TO 10 HPA.
