+## Dataset description
+
+3-hourly geomagnetic Kp index from NOAA SWPC, measuring planetary magnetic disturbance on a 0-9 scale. Updated daily, growing incrementally.
+
+The Kp index is a quasi-logarithmic scale (0-9) that quantifies geomagnetic disturbance based on magnetometer readings from 13 ground stations worldwide. It is the basis for the NOAA G-scale storm classification: quiet (Kp 0-4), G1 minor (Kp=5), G2 moderate (Kp=6), G3 strong (Kp=7), G4 severe (Kp=8), G5 extreme (Kp=9).
+
+The Kp index was introduced by Julius Bartels in 1949 and remains one of the most widely used geomagnetic activity measures in space physics and space operations. It is computed every 3 hours from the maximum deviation of the horizontal magnetic field component at each of 13 subauroral magnetometer stations, after removing the quiet-day baseline variation. The conversion from linear nanotesla deviations to the quasi-logarithmic K scale means that each unit step represents roughly a doubling of disturbance amplitude: K=5 corresponds to about 70 nT variation, while K=9 corresponds to over 500 nT.
+
+Operationally, Kp is the primary input to the NOAA G-scale storm classification used by satellite operators, power grid managers, and aviation authorities. The associated Ap index (a linearized daily average derived from Kp) is a required input for NRLMSISE-00 and JB2008 thermospheric density models, which drive satellite drag computation. During a G3 storm (Kp=7), atmospheric drag at 400 km altitude can increase by a factor of 2-3, causing significant orbital decay for LEO assets including the ISS and Starlink satellites.
+
+This dataset is suitable for **time-series forecasting, tabular classification** tasks.
+
+## Schema
+
+| Column | Type | Description | Sample | Null % |
+|--------|------|-------------|--------|--------|
+| `datetime` | datetime64[ns] | Start timestamp of the 3-hour observation window (UTC). Kp is reported at 00, 03, 06, 09, 12, 15, 18, and 21 UT each day — 8 readings per day. | 2026-03-17 00:00:00 | 0.0% |
+| `kp_value` | float64 | Planetary K-index (Kp), a quasi-logarithmic scale (0.0-9.0) measuring global geomagnetic disturbance. Derived from standardized magnetometer readings at up to 13 mid-latitude observatories worldwide. Values >=5 indicate a geomagnetic storm; >=7 indicate a severe storm capable of disrupting power grids and satellites. | 2.0 | 0.0% |
+| `ap_running` | int64 | Running 24-hour average of the ap index, the linear-scale equivalent of Kp (range 0-400 nT). More mathematically convenient than Kp for averaging and modeling. Used as a required input to atmospheric drag models such as NRLMSISE-00 and JB2008. | 7 | 0.0% |
+| `station_count` | int64 | Number of geomagnetic observatories that contributed data for this 3-hour window (maximum 13). Counts below ~5 reduce index reliability; null or low counts are common for historical records before 1960. | 8 | 0.0% |
+| `storm_level` | string | NOAA geomagnetic storm scale: quiet (Kp<5), G1 (Kp=5, minor), G2 (Kp=6, moderate), G3 (Kp=7, strong), G4 (Kp=8, severe), G5 (Kp=9, extreme). G3+ events can cause HF radio blackouts, GPS degradation, and increased satellite drag. | quiet | 0.0% |
