K-index
K-indices are calculated for every 3-hour interval (in Universal Time) measuring the amplitudes of the H- and D-component magnetic fields. Definition of the K-indices at Syowa Station is as follows:
K 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
range(nT) 0-25 25-50 50-100 100-200 200-350 350-600 600-1000 1000-1650 1650-2500 2500-
