Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-006814

A planetary index that quantifies geomagnetic activity on a global scale, derived from measurements of magnetic field variations at a network of ground-based observatories. It ranges from 0 to 9, with higher values indicating more intense geomagnetic storms. The Kp index is a standard measure for assessing space weather conditions and their potential impact on technological systems.
