Was bedeutet das ? (Bin Anfänger) *o.T.*

[jan lameer]

Eh, I think the 1000 nT only applies to the color of the oval; when the RISK factor = 100 %, it always shows white, to my knowledge.

Anyway: Canopus is an array of magnetometers in Canada. Basically they measure the position of the auroral oval above Canada. Then they extrapolate it for the entire earth.

It is some indication of activity: when Canopus shows activity, you know that "somewhere on earth" a substorm probably is happening

Na ja, es bedeutet erst mal das da schon einiges an Aktivität ist, aber das muß,für uns hier nicht immer stimmen. Die Werte gelten erst mal am Sichersten im Bereich der Linie in den USA, wo die Sensoren stehen.

Aber ein guter Indikator ist das Kiruna Megnetogramm:

Dieses steht zwar in Schweden, ist aber Halbwegs auf unserem Längengrad.
Die Aktivität dort, und mögliches PL hier steht da oft gut in dierektem Zusammenhang. Die schwarze Linie sollte sich möglichst der -1000 nähern, dann ist gut was möglich hier...

Hoffe dir geholfen zu haben.

I NOW THIS, BUT IT IS FIRST STRONG MESSURE TONIGHT, SO WHY NOT TALK ABOUT IT.

RIGHT!

Re: Offizielle CANOPUS-Erklärung (nur Link)

[jan lameer]

eh, I think the AKM should get their heads together and find an answer to Canopus. I mean with so much potential (Mark, Ulrich, Sven and all the others who's name I don't remember now), it should be possible to make a good algorithm that at least resembles Canopus for Germany.
Starting with data from Norway?
But for the time being I think that AKM is the best local observer network on earth now. It is so nice to hear from other observers that went out into foggy conditions. After an hour or more it chills you to the bone. When you cannot sit on the floor of the forest, cold creeps in. I'm still wondering if we will get some aurora soon. Probably not, season is over ?
