gseattle Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Where can the aurora borealis data behind https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/archive/2019/06 in a format such as csv be downloaded? Or where does SpaceWeatherLive obtain the kp index+ data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gseattle Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) There's a link on this page: https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/stp/GEOMAG/kp_ap.html The .fmt file describes how the data is layed out. ftp://ftp.ngdc.noaa.gov/STP/GEOMAGNETIC_DATA/INDICES/KP_AP/kp_ap.fmt I gather the year is picked up from the file name, in this case 2010. Apr 5 (0405) 1004052411 13033537757504337380 15 18 56179 67 48 32 22 551.67 26 79.30 There are no delimiters. A space basically means leading 0. For my purposes I'll focus on columns 29-31, Kp daily sum to the nearest third. In this case 380. If anyone might want to suggest a better value to use for summing up each day, please advise. What exactly are these? Ap = PLANETARY EQUIVALENT DAILY AMPLITUDE Cp = PLANETARY DAILY CHARACTER FIGURE Edited June 26, 2019 by gseattle Tried backticks from markdown for fixed width, didn't work, removing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancanneyt Sander Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 We don't provide downloadable exports of our archived data, please use the data from the official organisations. Kp/Ap data can be retrieved from the Potsdam website where the finalized official Kp can be downloaded in a few formats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
