Timeline Comparison
This chart compares four geophysical metrics over time to explore potential correlations between solar activity (Kp Index, solar flares) and seismic activity (earthquake magnitude). Each metric uses its own scale shown on the Y-axes.

Solar Activity vs Magnitude
Kp Index vs Magnitude
Kp Index measures geomagnetic activity on a scale from 0 (quiet) to 9 (extreme storm)
Solar Wind Speed vs Magnitude
Solar wind speed is measured in km/s, typically ranging from 300-1000 km/s
Understanding These Charts
What you're seeing: These charts show correlations between solar activity and earthquake magnitude. Each chart displays a separate relationship:
- Kp Index vs Magnitude: Shows the relationship between geomagnetic activity (Kp Index, scale 0-9) and earthquake magnitude. The Kp Index measures geomagnetic storm intensity, with higher values indicating stronger geomagnetic disturbances.
- Solar Wind Speed vs Magnitude: Shows the relationship between solar wind speed (typically 300-1000 km/s) and earthquake magnitude. Solar wind speed is measured in kilometers per second and represents the velocity of particles streaming from the Sun.
How to interpret: Each point represents an earthquake at a specific magnitude (Y-axis) that occurred during a period with specific solar activity (X-axis). The patterns in these charts may reveal correlations between solar activity and seismic events.

Understanding the Correlation Heat Map
What you're seeing: This heatmap visualizes the correlation between Kp Index (geomagnetic activity) and earthquake magnitude. The chart shows how frequently earthquakes of different magnitudes occur during periods of varying geomagnetic activity.
- X-axis (Kp Index): Measures geomagnetic activity on a scale from 0 (quiet) to 9 (extreme storm). Higher values indicate stronger geomagnetic disturbances caused by solar activity.
- Y-axis (Earthquake Magnitude): The Richter scale magnitude of earthquakes, typically ranging from 2.5 to 5.5+ in this dataset.
- Visualization: The size/intensity of each point represents the frequency of earthquakes occurring at that specific combination of Kp Index and magnitude. Larger or more intense areas indicate more frequent correlations.
How to interpret: Patterns in this heatmap may reveal relationships between geomagnetic activity and seismic events. Clusters of high frequency suggest potential correlations between solar activity and earthquake occurrence at specific magnitude levels.

Schumann Resonance
Schumann Resonances 0-40 Hz (Ez) Spectrogram UTC+7
Schumann resonances are extremely-low-frequency vibrations in the 0-50 Hz range. This data shows the vertical electric field (Ez) from 0-40 Hz as measured by a T-antenna. It is sensitive to wind vibrations and local atmospheric electrification. Therefore this spectrogram cannot be used exclusively for global observation, local atmospheric effects must be identified as well as microphonic noise from wind-induced vibrations.
Data Source: Schumann resonances data is provided by the Space Observing System located in Tomsk, Russia (UTC+7).
