ACE Satellite Data
NASA's Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE)
satellite serves as an advance warning of geomagnetic storms.
Geomagnetic storms impact the electric power grid, aircraft
operations, GPS, manned spaceflight, and satellite operations,
to name some of the most damaging. Severe geomagnetic storms
can result in electric utility blackouts over a wide area.
ACE is at the L1 libration point between the
Earth and the Sun, about 1,500,000 km forward of Earth, enabling ACE
to give up to one hour advance warning of the arrival of damaging
space weather events at Earth.

GOES
Notes:
The ~ cycles are due to the satellites
rotation in sync with the Earth. "N" being Satellite Noon which is
towards the sun, and "M" being Satellite Midnight which is behind the
Earth, slightly shielded from the Sun.

Planetary K (GOES)
(I call this my "Mood Index")

Planetary K:
This plot is a relative index of the rate of
change in geomagnetic strength. The more dramatic the change, the
higher the index. Index levels of over 4 are considered a "storm
warning" level known to affect migratory animals. However my own
sensitivity has proven to be well below that, down to a level of 2 and
above. Above 4, and I am likely to be very dizzy, have sudden headaches
and even become physically ill. |

Notes:
- The ACE
satellite is in a locked orbit between the Earth and Sun. You can think
of this as a "Early Warning System" for inbound space weather. Whereas
the GOES satellites are in geosynchronous orbit around the Earth.
Magnetic levels seen by the ACE satellite are roughly 40 to 50 minutes in
advance of what will be seen by the Earth. Levels seen by the GOES
satellites are the Earth's resulting field in real time.
- EMF
Hypersensitivity is a medically proven fact, though not fully understood.
For those who feel its effect, developing an understanding of it may
help. Monitoring this page, and reading
HERE,
may help you in this effort.
- Magnetic waves travel from the Sun towards
the Earth like waves on the ocean. These waves have a directional
amplitude (Bx, By, Bz & Bt) and angle (Phi & Theta). A strong shift in
either will effect the Earth's field and result in an EMF Hypersensitive
person feeling the effect. Different types of shifts cause different
effects on a sensitive person. With time you will learn what your pattern
is.
