Aurora 30-Minute Forecast
The OVATION Aurora Forecast Model shows the intensity and location of the aurora predicted for the time shown at the top of the map.
This probability forecast is based on current solar wind conditions measured at L1, but using a fixed 30-minute delay time between
L1 and Earth. A 30-minute delay corresponds to approximately 800 km/s solar wind speed as might be encountered during geomagnetic
storming conditions. In reality, delay times vary from less than 30 minutes to an hour or so for average solar wind conditions.
