For a recent project, we looked at geomagnetic storm data. Space weather is making the news these days.
Lots of interesting data is available. Among other things, we found ourselves looking at the relationships between F and H, Dst, and Kp.
For example, the figure below represents F (blue), H (red), and Dst (green) during a geomagnetic storm on October 28-30, 2003. Each X tick is one minute. Dst values are interpolated.
The following figure presents the absolute value of percentage changes from the means.
The figure below represents the percentage change in F in the same timeframe:
Our review of the literature didn't turn up anything definitive on the relationship between F and H (or Dst and Kp). Anybody have any pointers? We've begun some analysis of data like

but we'd obviously rather not build models from scratch if we don't have to. We'll make another pass at the literature and update this post accordingly. So stay tuned for exciting space weather analysis for the upcoming season.
