Hemispheric Power Index
The Hemispheric Power Index (HPI) is a measure of the total power in gigawatts (GW) being deposited into the Earth's upper atmosphere by charged particles from the solar wind, specifically in the auroral regions. It is derived from satellite observations of the auroral oval and gives an estimate of the energy available to produce auroras in each hemisphere.
What to look for? Keep an eye out for higher values. Above 20GW aurora borealis can be visible to the naked eye in nothern areas where aurora is common. Getting above 50GW and the lights will be more visible further south and above 100GW and it's party time.
