Planetary K Index

The Planetary K Index is a geomagnetic index that quantifies global geomagnetic activity on a 0–9 logarithmic scale based on the standardized 3-hourly measurements of horizontal magnetic field variations observed at a global network of ground-based magnetometer stations, with its median values combined into a single planetary-wide indicator corrected for diurnal and seasonal effects.
