Magnetospheric Geonome Project 2010

Magnetospheric Geonome Project: sequencing convection state

Magnetospheric convection state for the duration of 2010. States include:

0:quiet,

1:weak activity,

2:growth phase,

3:expansion phase,

4:driven phase,

5:multiple intensifications,

6:recovery phase,

7:recovery bay,

8:driven phase onset, and

9:no data.

Each line has the format: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm X:state descriptor

In each case except 8, the time marks the beginning of a new state of activity, which runs until the following time. In the case of 8, the time marks the occurrence of a driven phase onset, all of which occur during driven phases (4).
