Popis: In September 2022, kp.gfz-potsdam.de/en was introduced as a new portal to the various near real-time and definitive Kp data streams as well as to ap and related products provided by GFZ. It provides data access by a user-defined web service, web service clients, https and ftp, including the DOI data archive that established in 2021. It also provides figures like daily plots, zoom-able plots from 1932 to today, and plots on the Kp frequency distribution and the traditional musical diagrams designed by Bartels, who introduced Kp in 1949. It also provides information on Kp and allows users to register for a newsletter to updated with relevant operational information. Also the new Kp-like Hpo indices, the hourly Hp60 and ap60 as well as the half-hourly Hp30 and ap30 are provided from this portal. The new index is very similar to Kp but has a higher time resolution and it is open-ended, i.e. not capped at 9 like Kp, and describes extremely strong space weather events in more detail.
