Fifty Years of the Burton Equation
Fifty Years of the Burton Equation
Session ID#: 248197
Session Description:
Fifty years ago (1975), a Dst prediction algorithm was published that has come to be known as the Burton equation. Since then, numerous studies have used the differential equation approach to predicting Dst, Kp, AL, and other geomagnetic indices from ground-based magnetometer data (SYM-H, SMR, SML, SME, etc.). Moreover, many other studies have applied completely different techniques, from first-principles numerical models to neural networks, to predict geomagnetic index time series. To celebrate this milestone, this session welcomes presentations on all geomagnetic activity index prediction techniques. Presentations are welcome that provide a retrospect of where we have come over the last 50 years, that showcase current techniques for activity prediction, as well as those with a prospective view of new directions in predicting the geospace system.
