:Product: 20030210SGAS.txt :Issued: 2003 Feb 10 0245 UTC # Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, # Space Environment Center and the U.S. Air Force. # Joint USAF/NOAA Solar and Geophysical Activity Summary SGAS Number 041 Issued at 0245Z on 10 Feb 2003 This report is compiled from data received at SWO on 09 Feb 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 mostly quiet to unsettled with isolated active periods. Solar wind conditions were at near nominal levels, but periods of weak southward IMF Bz yielded the occasional active periods. D. Stratwarm: STRATWARM ALERT / SUNDAY / STRATWARM EXISTS. IN THE MIDDLE AND UPPER STRATOSPHERE, STILL DISTURBED TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION WITH A DECAYING WARM REGION OVER NORTHERN SIBERIA WHICH STILL LEADS TO A REVERSED TEMPERATURE GRADIENT BETWEEN 60N AND THE POLE FROM 3 TO1 HPA. E. Daily Indices: (real-time preliminary/estimated values) 10 cm 141 SSN 194 Afr/Ap 012/015 X-ray Background B3.2 Daily Proton Fluence (flux accumulation over 24 hrs) GT 1 MeV 3.0e+05 GT 10 MeV 1.3e+04 p/(cm2-ster-day) (GOES-8 satellite synchronous orbit W75 degrees) Daily Electron Fluence GT 2 MeV 1.00e+08 e/(cm2-ster-day) (GOES-8 satellite synchronous orbit W75 degrees) 3 Hour K-indices: Boulder 3 3 4 2 2 4 2 2 Planetary 3 3 4 2 3 4 3 3 F. Comments: The greater than 2 MeV electron fluxes at geosynchronous orbit remain considerably enhanced, reaching high levels again this period.
