The K-index quantifies disturbances in the horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field with an integer in the range 0-9, with 1 being calm and 5 or more indicating a disturbed state. The Kp-index is a scale used to characterize the magnitude of geomagnetic disturbances. A geomagnetic storm starts at Kp5 after three consecutive hours of Kp4 or higher.

The Kp-index ranges from 0 to 9, where a value of 0 means that there is very little geomagnetic activity and a value of 9 means extreme geomagnetic activity. The K-index is calculated from data collected from a network of observatories around the world.

Conclusion

The K-index and Kp-index are important tools for understanding and predicting geomagnetic activity. Geomagnetic storms can have a significant impact on our planet, so it is important to be able to track and forecast them. The WDC for Geomagnetism Kyoto Dst index service provides valuable data that can help us to do this.
