Real time forecasting of geomagnetic indices: 

Real time forecasting of geomagnetic indices Peter Wintoft Swedish Institute of Space Physics

Why forecast indices?: 

Why forecast indices? Summarized continuous information about time dependent phenomenon Used to drive models Large data sets available for Analysis Model evaluation Model development

Outline: 

Outline Some applications using geomagnetic indices Real-time forecasts The Lund Dst model Model evaluation Short term dynamics Long term dynamics Real-time operation
