How It Works

Predict aurora visibility from Kp index. Kp 0–1: polar latitudes only. Kp 5: geomagnetic storm, aurora to 55°. Kp 9: visible to 40°

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Kp index — The kp index recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the kp index aurora result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the Kp index for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Predict aurora visibility from Kp index. Kp 0–1: polar latitudes only. Kp 5: geomagnetic storm, aurora to 55°. Kp 9: visible to 40°. Use the kp index aurora result to inform your clinical assessment.
