aa and Aa Indices of Geomagnetic Activity
aa index is a planetary three-hour geomagnetic activity index calculated from the values
of K index measured in two almost diametrically opposite magnetic observatories in the northern
and southern hemispheres - now it is Hartland in the UK and Canberra in Australia.
The values of the K index, determined by two observatories, are converted back to amplitudes.
The index aa is defined as the average value between these two amplitudes, taking into account
the correction for a small difference in the latitudes of two observatories or small changes in their arrangement.
The index aa is measured in nanoTeslas (nT).
Aa index is the average value of the index aa per day.
The final values of the aa index is calculated and made available by
International Service of Geomagnetic Indices (ISGI) from data collected at magnetic observatories.
