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-5W/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)
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)
