The "Magnetology" app allows users to monitor the forecast of geomagnetic storms and the state of the Earth's geomagnetic pitch. Geomagnetic storms can negatively affect human health, causing symptoms such as aches, dizziness, and abnormal blood pressure. People with abnormal blood conditions and cardiovascular and autonomic nervous systems are particularly susceptible to these effects. The app can also help users plan for difficult decisions, avoid high physical stress, and protect themselves from negative consequences.
Geomagnetic storms can also impact communications, navigation, and power. Drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are particularly vulnerable. The power of geomagnetic pitch disturbances is measured by the Kp index, which ranges from 0 to 9. Disturbances with a Kp index of 5 and above are classified as storms, and there can be up to 50 such storms per year.
The Earth's geomagnetic pitch changes due to the influence of the Sun, with the intensity of impact varying depending on solar processes. The app uses data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The upcoming updates of the app will include the ability to view history and personal forecasts.
Forecast of geomagnetic storms and the state of Earth´s geomagnetic field.«Magnetology» is an application which permits one to watch the forecast of geomagnetic storms and the state of Earth´s geomagnetic field. WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT?
Geomagnetic storms adversely affect the health of humans. They can cause aches, dizziness, rapid heart rate, and abnormal blood pressure. People with abnormal conditions of the blood and of the cardiovascular and autonomic nervous systems are particularly susceptible to the influence of geomagnetic storms. The degree of magnetic storms’ influence on a particular person depends on many factors, including health .....
