About the Solar X-ray status monitor
The X-ray Solar status monitor downloads data periodically from the NOAA
Space Environment Center FTP server. The previous 24 hours
of 5 minute Long-wavelength X-ray
data from each satellite (GOES 8 and GOES 10) is analyzed, and an appropriate level of
activity for the past 24 hours is assigned as follows:
|
Normal: Solar X-ray flux is quiet (< 1.00e-6 W/m^2) |
|
Active: Solar X-ray flux is active (>= 1.00e-6 W/m^2) |
|
M Class Flare: An M Class flare has occurred (X-ray flux >= 1.00e-5 W/m^2) |
|
X Class Flare: An X Class flare has occurred (X-ray flux >= 1.00e-4 W/m^2) |
|
Mega Flare: An unprecedented X-ray event has occurred (X-ray flux >= 1.00e-3 W/m^2) |
About the Geomagnetic Field status monitor
The Geomagnetic Field status monitor downloads data periodically from the NOAA
Space Environment Center FTP server. The previous 24 hours of
3 hour Planetary Kp Index data is
analyzed and an appropriate level of activity for the past 24 hours is assigned as follows:
|
Quiet: the Geomagnetic Field is quiet (Kp < 4) |
|
Active: the Geomagnetic Field has been unsettled (Kp=4) |
|
Storm: A Geomagnetic Storm has occurred (Kp>4) |
