What is indicated by a rising A-index or K-index?

  1. Increasing disturbance of the geomagnetic fieldRespuesta correcta
  2. Decreasing disturbance of the geomagnetic field
  3. Higher levels of solar UV radiation
  4. An increase in the critical frequency

Explicación

Both indices are derived from magnetometer readings of how far the geomagnetic field has departed from its quiet-day value, so higher numbers mean a more disturbed field. Neither measures ultraviolet output, and a disturbed field generally degrades ionospheric conditions rather than raising the critical frequency.
