2.7 IRF Kp forecast and nowcast
This section contains forecasted and nowcasted Kp values from the Swedish Institute of Space Physics.
Table Name tb_irf_kp
Data File sol.irfl.lu.se\KpForecast\kpoutput.txt
Comments Nowcasting and forecasting of Kp from ACE solar wind data.
All parameters are 3-hour averages. The averaged solar wind data for time t are formed from data over the interval t-3 hours to t.
The Kp(t) is the nowcast and corresponds to Kp in the interval [t-3h,t], where t is the time whan the prediction was made. The nowcast is
the Kp for the current 3-hour interval.
The Kp(t+3) is the forecast and corresponds to Kp in the interval [t,t+3h]. The forecast is the Kp for the coming 3-hour interval.
