Recent Geophysical Indices
The KP index is a numerical value calculated from a global
distribution of magnetometers that allows scientists to keep track of the
level of geomagnetic activity on a given day. KP values range from 0 to
9, with low values indicating quiet geomagnetic conditions and high values
indicating geomagnetic storm
conditions.
KP - 3 hour (3 day view)
