The International Quiet and Disturbed Days are determined from the Kp values of the respective month based on a combination of criteria like the sum of the Kp values for a day, the sum of their squares, and the maximum Kp. The 10 quiet days are selected and ordered, with the quietest day being labelled Q1 and the least quiet day of these 10 days being labelled Q10. Any of these days can be assigned the letter A if Ap exceeds 6 for this day or the letter K if Ap is smaller or equal 6, but one Kp value exceeds 3, or two Kp values exceed 2+. The 5 disturbed days are selected and ordered from D1 (the most disturbed day) to D5. An asterisk (*) is assigned to a disturbed day if Ap is smaller 20. The Kp index was introduced by Bartels (1949) and is produced by Geomagnetic Observatory Niemegk, GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences.
