Disturbance Storm Time analysis from OMNI data

This section contains notebooks for the analysis of Disturbance Storm Time (DST) index using OMNI data. COPY/PASTE FROM WIKIPEDIA TO BE MODIFIED The DST index is widely used in the context of space weather and gives information about the strength of the ring current around Earth caused by solar protons and electrons. The ring current around Earth produces a magnetic field that is directly opposite Earth’s magnetic field, i.e. if the difference between solar electrons and protons gets higher, then Earth’s magnetic field becomes weaker. A negative Dst value means that Earth’s magnetic field is weakened. This is particularly the case during solar storms.

The two notebooks download time series data from OMNI:

• The First notebook trains several models to forecast the DST index and evaluates their performance.

• The Second notebook analyses the influence of each variable on the DST index by computing correlations and selecting the best features.
