Solar X-Ray Flux |
|||||||
| 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-5 W/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) |
||||||
| Note: The designation "Mega
Flare" was chosen
by Kevin Loch when the status monitor was created on March 4, 1999. There is no "official" designation for flares in this range. |

|||||||
| The Geomagnetic Field status monitor downloads data periodically from the NOAA Space Environment Center FTP server. | |||||||
| Quiet: | the Geomagnetic Field is quiet (Kp < 4) | ||||||
| Unsettled: | Active: the Geomagnetic Field has been unsettled (Kp=4) | ||||||
| Storm: | A Geomagnetic Storm has occurred (Kp>4) |
