What does the A-index measure?

  1. The relative position of sunspots on the surface of the Sun
  2. The amount of polarization of the Sun’s electric field
  3. The long-term stability of Earth’s geomagnetic fieldRespuesta correcta
  4. The solar radio flux at Boulder, Colorado

Explicación

The A-index is computed from the eight K values of a day converted to a linear amplitude scale and averaged, so it summarises geomagnetic conditions over a whole day rather than over three hours. That is why it is the long-term stability figure and the K-index is the short-term one.
