WING Kp Predicted Activity Index

This product is now superseded by the GEOSPACE model Geomagnetic activity can affect communications, navigation systems, satellite health, power grids, and space travel. K_p is one of the most common indices used to indicate the severity of the global magnetic disturbances in near-Earth space. The dashed red line indicates the lowest alert level, G1 (minor), on the NOAA Space Weather Scale. The solid blue line is the Estimated Kp index. The bottom Lead Time panel shows an estimate of the actual lead time which depends on solar wind speed. The lead time is the time for the solar wind to propagate from the ACE satellite, at L1, to the Earth. Missing K_p values, Lead Time values, or model output indicates the data is not available at SWPC. WING Kp plot Courtesy of NOAA/SWPC (WING).
