Data Access
The northern auroral electrojet (SAE) index is constructed from 9 ground magnetometers in the northern auroral region. This data set contains a northern auroral electrojet (NAE) index, a northern auroral lower (NAL) index, and a northern auroral upper (NAU) index. Availability of the NAE index may vary from day to day depending upon magnetometer data availabiliy. NAE indices were only produced when data from all stations were available. This data set is nearly conjugate to the SAE index. Details on the magnetometer arrays are available at: Weygand, J.M., and E. Zesta, Comparison of auroral electrojet indices in the Northern and Southern hemispheres, J. Geophys. Res., 113, A08202, doi:10.1029/2008ja013055, 2008.

These data are the northern auroral electrojet lower index in units of nT at 60 s resolution. These values were determined using the same method as the World Data Center AL index.
These data are the northern auroral electrojet upper Index in units of nT at 60 s resolution. These values were determined using the same meathod as the World Data Center AU index.
