Aurora (Northern Lights) Activity Plots

Made possible with the support of NOAA. These plots represent the areas that are likely to have auroral activity. The aurora oval represented in the plots is not a photograph, and is near real-time. It is extrapolated statistically from the Space Environment Monitor (SEM) data obtained during a single pass of a POES satellite over a polar region. To learn more visit NOAA POES site at: http://www.sec.noaa.gov/pmap/index.html
Also read this user’s guide that will soon be added to the NOAA site. http://www.sec.noaa.gov/pmap/GEpmap/index.html

You can also read my original concept thread here:

So keep listening to the news for solar activity. Big ones happen a few times a year. So if you ever find yourself under and yellow, orange or especially red, get out there and have fun watching aurora!
And don't forget to rank my post!

>Update< July 23 2007
I have repaired and modified the link to the scale.
I have moved the scale to the top right corner of the view screen, rather than in the Pacific Ocean.
I have changed the scale to a smaller, less obtrusive version.

The reason the scale broke was due to NOAA stopped hosting that particular file when they adapted my idea to use with NASA's World Wind.
