WMSPACEWEATHER(1.1) WMSPACEWEATHER(1.1) NAME WMSPACEWEATHER - Dockable Space Weather Monitor SYNOPSIS wmSpaceWeather [-h] [-display <Display>] DESCRIPTION wmSpaceWeather is a space weather monitor. The monitor shows: 2 relativis- tic electron and 3 relativistic proton flux levels at geosyncronous orbit (currently from the NOAA GOES spacecraft), current Solar Flare X-ray flux, and the last 8 3-hour Kp index values. Large fluxes of relativistic (aka `Killer') electrons can cause harmful `deep-dielectric' charging/discharging events inside satellites. High pro- ton fluxes (`Solar Energetic Proton' or SEP events) can cause single event upsets in satellite electronics. The Kp index is a measure of how disturbed the Earth's magnetic field has been over a 3-hour interval. Kp can range from 0-9, where 0 is quiet and 9 is very disturbed. The Kp values shown are the 8 previous values (i.e. the last 24 hours). If the display is up-to- date, the LED next to the Kp bars will flash blue. If the display is not up-to-date, the LED will flash orange. OPTIONS -h Display list of command-line options. -display [display] Use an alternate X Display. BUGS Let me know if/when you find any.
