KpIndex hits 5 today. The station K indices show the fluctuations in the magnetic
field, tied to specific geographic locations. The indices have a range
from 0 to 9 and are directly related to the maximum amount of
fluctuation (relative to a quiet day) in the geomagnetic field over a
three-hour interval.The planetary Kp-index is a globally averaged indicator of the worldwide
level of geomagnetic activity. The official Kp index is derived by
calculating a weighted average of K-indices from a predetermined network
of geomagnetic observatories, the official Kp network.
