- Purpose:
- Kp is a geomagnetic index
that indicates the global geomagnetic disturbances caused by the solar
wind. Currently the
official
index is derived using data acquired at 13 stations and is
published as 3-hour values, with significant time delay.
The purpose of the Kp project is to estimate Kp in near-real-time
using a different set of ground stations that provide data with less
time delay.
- Input:
- Station, year, month, &
day
- Output:
- year, day number, hour, minute
UPOS_Kp - Estimate of near real-time Kp.
