 HOW TO USE GEOPHYSICAL ALERT BROADCASTS

Preface

This User's Guide is primarily based on information made available by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Environment Services Center in Boulder, Colorado. The Geophysical Alert Broadcasts are primarily intended for users in North America and the Pacific since that region is where radio stations WWV and WWVH are best received. However, data contained in the broadcasts are useful worldwide and propagation conditions can be such that either or both of these stations can be received surprisingly well throughout the planet.

There are other sources of solar geophysical data too. Mike Bird offers a weekly overview of conditions, together with a forecast, each Thursday on Radio Netherlands. This appears during the Media Network programme, and is now also available on this Web site.

The geomagnetic conditions as reported in the Radio Netherlands broadcasts are most representative of conditions in mid-northern latitudes but reports of solar activity are easily applicable elsewhere.

We would like to express our thanks and appreciation to the people at the Space Environment Services Center for their cooperation and assistance in the production of this User's Guide.

Comments and suggestions concerning this User's Guide only are always welcome direct to the author.
