Space Weather information
Current Space Weather Info:
- (SFI) F10.7 – Solar Flux Index: The amount of flux (radio noise) emitted at 2800 MHz (10.7 cm) wavelength;
- (SN) SSNe – Effective sunspot number derived from ionospheric measurements;
- (X-Ray) – Solar x-ray flux over the band 1-8 Angstroms;
- (A-Ind) Ap – Daily global index of geomagnetic activity (preliminary);
- (K-Ind) Kp – 3-hour global index of geomagnetic activity (preliminary);
- (304A) – UV emissions at 304 angstroms (UltraViolet), correlated to Solar Flux Index;
- (Ptn Flx) – Proton Flux: Strong enhancement in energetic proton flux (typically >10 MeV), commonly from a shock caused by an energetic solar eruptio;
- (Elc Flx) – Electron Flux: The electron flux measured by the GOES satellites indicates the intensity of the outer electron radiation belt at geostationary orbit;
- (Aur Act) Qe – Effective Q index (auroral activity index);
