Space Weather Indices: Daily Geomagnetic and Solar Activity Since 1957

Daily geomagnetic and solar activity indices from 1957 onward, sourced from NOAA SWPC via CelesTrak. The dataset includes Kp/Ap geomagnetic indices, F10.7 solar radio flux, and international sunspot numbers. It was uploaded by juliensimon to Hugging Face.

Use Cases

• Modeling the impact of solar storms on Earth's magnetosphere based on Kp/Ap indices.
• Correlating solar radio flux (F10.7) with atmospheric drag and satellite orbital decay.
• Analyzing long-term solar cycle trends using international sunspot numbers.
• Forecasting space weather events for satellite and power grid operations based on historical indices.

Strengths

• Provides daily data starting from 1957, offering a long historical baseline.
• Integrates multiple essential space weather parameters (Kp, Ap, F10.7, sunspot numbers) from an authoritative source (NOAA SWPC).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file format are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
