:Product: 20030211SGAS.txt :Issued: 2003 Feb 11 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 042 Issued at 0245Z on 11 Feb 2003 This report is compiled from data received at SWO on 10 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 active periods at all latitudes between 10/0300 - 0900Z. A slightly elevated solar wind velocity and southward turning in the interplanetary magnetic field account for the most disturbed periods. D. Stratwarm: STRATWARM ALERT/MONDAY/STRATWARM EXISTS. IN THE MIDDLE AND UPPER STRATOSPHERE STILL SLIGHTLY DISTURBED TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION WITH A DECAYING WARM REGION OVER SIBERIA WHICH STILL LEADS TO A REVERSED TEMPERATURE GRADIENT BETWEEN 60N AND THE POLE AT 2 AND 1 HPA. E. Daily Indices: (real-time preliminary/estimated values) 10 cm 136 SSN 163 Afr/Ap 012/016 X-ray Background B3.1 Daily Proton Fluence (flux accumulation over 24 hrs) GT 1 MeV 1.3e+05 GT 10 MeV 1.3e+04 p/(cm2-ster-day) (GOES-8 satellite synchronous orbit W75 degrees) Daily Electron Fluence GT 2 MeV 6.10e+07 e/(cm2-ster-day) (GOES-8 satellite synchronous orbit W75 degrees) 3 Hour K-indices: Boulder 3 4 4 3 2 2 3 3 Planetary 3 4 4 3 3 3 3 3 F. Comments: The greater than 2 MeV electron fluxes at geosynchronous orbit once again reached high levels.
