NOTES:

  • The Kyoto Quick-Look Dst is near Real-Time
  • The UCLA model uses upstream Solar Wind data to advance Dst to a forecast
  • This forecast is updated 1/2-hourly at 0 and 30 minutes past the hour.
  • The red line indicates the time the forecast was made.
  • The purpose of this exercise is to demonstrate that real time Solar Wind data can be used to produce a simple model of Dst.

    ADVISORIES:

  • These data have known problems and are NOT for publication use.
  • The handling of ACE data gaps is incomplete. Spurious data spikes may occur. Use this data at your own risk

    EVALUATIONS:

  • Evaluation on Latest Kyoto Quick-Look Dst
  • Evaluation on April 1999 (99-107) Magnetic Storm
