JAGUAR is more than well connected to the current and historical online space weather data ("SPACE WX").
The solar data can be found in:
Just click SLIDER > CONDX or press the "X" key, and you will see a full screen of index developments from the past two weeks (or if your playback time is not within the last two weeks, you will see both the week around the playback day AND the current week). In addition to the current week, you can review earlier weeks by moving the mouse over the current week and scrolling the days backwards/forwards with the mouse wheel. The maximum of time to move backwards in time is two months. To close the CONDX screen, just press "X" again, or select some other display from SLIDER.
On the CONDX screen you will see how the polar A index (white graph), the Global or planetary A index (dark blue), Kyoto DST (green), Solar wind (light blue) and Proton flux (yellow) indices have developed over the days. Also, if your playback time is within the last two months and you are using a PC which recorded the playback files, you will see the JIX (J-index) CURVE (red). The JIX CURVE shown here depends on the current frequency-stepping you have enabled (MW10 or MW9). See the JIX help for details.
One rule of thumb which can be deduced from these indices is this: whenever the Kyoto DST index plummets (goes to negative values, especially below -10), the global & polar A indices rocket, and, as a consequence, the conditions (trans-oceanic conditions in particular over the poles) will deteriorate.
In addition to the dedicated CONDX screen, an extended space weather report is readily available in the TOOLBAR > WWW under the SPACE WX menu. This space weather data is read in real-time from the Internet.
The explanations of the parameters shown in the space weather tables under the SPACE WX menu are as follows:
SSN: Last measured daily sunspot number
SSNm: Last predicted monthly smoothed sunspot number
SFI: Last measured solar flux index
90-day SFI: 90-day mean solar flux index
Au (N): Aurora index (north).
Kt: Last measured Tromso (Norway) K index.
At: Last calculated Tromso (Norway) A index. The same as Polar A index in the space weather screen.
Kyoto Dst: The Kyoto Dst index. See also the menu KYOTO in JAGUAR BROWSER!
Bz: The direction of the IMF or interplanetary (the Sun's) magnetic field.
SW: Solar wind speed (in km/s, typically around 400 km/s)
X-Ray: Last measured X-Ray value.
PCA: 24-hour Polar Cap Absorption forecast (typically caused by proton events, therefore other proton measurements not mentioned).
Proton: Current proton flux.
Kp: Last measured planetary K index.
Ap: Last calculated planetary A index. The same as Global A in the space weather screen.
Dst: Another Dst index
24-h Kt: The last eight K index values from Tromso (Norway)
These parameters are followed by yesterday's and today's X-Ray events, exceeding the C level. On the right table, a 3-day outlook (OUTLOOK) on the space weather is shown, in terms of the Solar Flux Index (SFI), Planetary A index (Ap) as well as the maximum values for K index (Kp) on the high latitudes (HL) and mid-latitudes (ML).
The rest of the table shows the forecasts for High Latitude Geomagnetic and Mid Latitude Geomagnetic Disturbances for up to the next 48 hours.
All the rest SPACE WX data refer to a subset of the previous values monitored and saved during the time of the playback. Most often you will see the four main values (Solar wind, Kyoto DST, Polar A and K) and, in addition, either Bz or the Proton values.
STATUSBAR contains four "color boxes" for a quick visual evaluation of SPACE WX at the time of playback. More details can be found in the STATUSBAR help.
