Geomagnetic Data Indices

Geomagnetic indices downloader and parser, returns Ap, F10.7 (unsmoothed and smoothed) and Kp.

This is derived from geomagindices, and has been modified to:

• Support the new post-SWPC data sources for all data dating back to 1932.
• Fix a bug where averaging would not cross year boundaries.

It is a drop-in replacement for geomagindices.

Output datatype is pandas.DataFrame (for multiple times)

internally, uses pandas.Index.get_loc to find nearest time to request.

Missing data is returned as NaN (Not a Number floating point value).

Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/sunipkm/geomagdata
$ cd geomagdata
$ pip install .

Examples

use from other programs like

import geomagdata as gi

inds = gi.get_indices(date)

where date is Python datetime.date, datetime.datetime, etc.
