Tool Reference¶
solar_conditions¶
Get current solar conditions — SFI, Kp, and NOAA space weather scales. Includes an HF band outlook derived from current indices. No parameters.
Returns current SFI, Kp, NOAA R/S/G scales, and band-by-band propagation outlook.
solar_forecast¶
Get the NOAA 27-day solar flux and geomagnetic forecast. No parameters.
Returns day-by-day forecast with predicted SFI and Kp values for the next 27 days.
solar_alerts¶
Get active NOAA space weather alerts and warnings. Shows solar flare alerts, geomagnetic storm warnings, radiation storm alerts, and other SWPC bulletins. No parameters.
Returns list of active alerts with product ID, issue time, and message text.
solar_wind¶
Get real-time DSCOVR L1 solar wind data. Shows interplanetary magnetic field (Bz component), solar wind speed, and proton density. Southward Bz (negative values) drives geomagnetic storms. No parameters.
Returns Bz (nT), Bt (nT), wind speed (km/s), density (p/cm^3), and geomagnetic storm assessment.
solar_xray¶
Get GOES X-ray flux and solar flare classification. M and X class flares can cause HF radio blackouts (NOAA R1-R5 scale). No parameters.
Returns current flare class, X-ray flux, and HF impact assessment.
solar_band_outlook¶
Get HF band-by-band propagation outlook based on current conditions. Derives an assessment for each band (160m through 6m) from current SFI and Kp. No parameters.
Returns per-band condition rating (Poor/Fair/Good/Excellent) with explanation, plus current SFI and Kp values.
