A 3-hourly "equivalent amplitude" index of local geomagnetic activity; "a" is related to the 3-hourly K INDEX according to the following scale: K 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a 0 3 7 15 27 48 80 140 240 400

A daily index of geomagnetic activity derived as the average of the eight 3-hourly a indices.

Geomagnetic levels such that 15 is less than Ap which is less than 29.

Solar activity levels with at least one geophysical event or several larger radio events (10cm) per day (Class M Flares)

An ACTIVE PROMINENCE seen on the DISK.

The approximate center of a range of heliographic longitudes in which ACTIVE REGIONS are more numerous and more FLARE-active than the average.

A PROMINENCE displaying material motion and changes in appearance over a few minutes of time.

A portion of the solar LIMB displaying ACTIVE PROMINENCEs.

A localized, transient volume of the solar atmosphere in which PLAGEs, SUNSPOTS, FACULAe, FLAREs, etc. may be observed.
