Table information for 'solar_flux.main'

General

This table is available for ADQL queries and through the TAP endpoint.

Resource Description:

The “Orbita” Radio Polygon at an altitude of 2750 meters conducts solar radio emission observations using state-of-the-art equipment. This includes instruments for monitoring solar radio flux at frequencies of 1 GHz and 2.8 GHz, as well as the Callisto solar radio spectrograph, which is part of the international e-Callisto network. These tools enable the detection of solar radio bursts of types II, III, IV, and V, and provide valuable insights for forecasting the geo-effectiveness of solar flare activity.

The provided dataset consists of daily tables, where each table corresponds to a single observation day. The data includes two columns:

The data are collected and provided by the Institute of Ionosphere, (https://ionos.kz/) and are also available through the Kazakhstan Space Weather Portal (https://ssa.fai.kz/, registration required), which additionally offers interactive visualizations and graphs.
