Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC)
NOAA's official source of space-weather forecasts, watches, and warnings — the operational centre that issues the Kp, G-, S-, and R-scale alerts used to protect power grids, satellites, and aviation.

Visual knowledge graph
Relationships, not isolated facts
This viewport is generated from the Asteria knowledge graph. Science, culture, and interpretive links remain separated by domain so visual context never changes the evidentiary meaning of a relation.

Geomagnetic Storm
A temporary disturbance of Earth's magnetosphere, driven by the arrival of a fast solar wind or a coronal mass ejection. Strong storms can disrupt satellites, power grids, and navigation, and drive bright auroras.
space weather impactPower Grids
Geomagnetic storms drive currents in the ground that flow into long transmission lines — geomagnetically induced currents — which can saturate and damage transformers and, in severe cases, cause regional blackouts. The 1989 Québec blackout is the classic example.
live data sourceNOAA Space Weather Prediction Center
The United States' official source for space-weather forecasts and alerts — solar wind, the planetary K-index, the geomagnetic storm scale, and radio-blackout and radiation warnings. Modelled here as a real provider with an honest status; no value is shown until it is connected.
geomagnetic indexNOAA G-Scale (Geomagnetic Storms)
NOAA's five-level scale for the severity of geomagnetic storms, from G1 (minor) to G5 (extreme), describing the expected effects on power grids, satellites, and navigation.
space weather phenomenonCoronal Mass Ejection (CME)
An enormous eruption of magnetised plasma from the Sun's corona, launching billions of tonnes of material into space. When aimed at Earth, a CME can drive the largest geomagnetic storms one to three days later.
geomagnetic indexDst Index
The Disturbance storm-time index, which tracks the strength of the equatorial ring current and so measures the intensity of a geomagnetic storm — the more negative the Dst, the stronger the storm.
