Proton Events: None C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary: The geomagnetic field was at quiet to active levels. A lingering southern coronal hole extension is believed to be responsible for the elevated conditions. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels today. D. Stratwarm: STRATWARM ALERT/TUESDAY/STRATWARM EXISTS. DECAYING WARMING, BUT STILL DISTURBED POLAR VORTEX THROUGHOUT THE STRATOSPHERE. REVERSED TERMERATURE GRADIENT BETWEEN 60N AND THE POLE FROM 50 TO 10 HPA. E.
