# Hpo Forecast
## Plot description
The plot shows the 3-day nowcast and 3-day forecast of geomagnetic Kp and Hpo indices. The first panel shows the Hp30 index, the second panel the Hp60 index and the third panel the Kp index. The vertical dashed line seperates nowcast (left) and forecast (right). The plot is updated every hour.

## Forecast
We have trained a machine learning (ML) forecast model based on solar wind parameters and sunspot number (OMNI, https://spdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/data/omni/high_res_omni). 
Minute values: IMF Bx, IMF By, IMF Bz, Proton Density, Flow speed
Hourly values: Sunspot number

The model has been applied on solar wind forecast data for the next 72 hours provided by NOAA SWPC (https://services.swpc.noaa.gov/json/solar-cycle/predicted-solar-cycle.json) and sunspot number forecast provided by Austrian Space Weather Office (Helio4Cast, https://helioforecast.space/static/sync/predstorm_real_1m.txt).
