Índice de exposição ao clima espacial

0–10 index of space-weather exposure as the product of the space-weather hazard and space-service dependence sub-indices; mostly modelled and expert inputs, so its grade is capped.

  1. Amplitude do campo geoelétrico com período de retorno de 100 anos
    Indicator · IND · V/km
    Modelled peak horizontal geoelectric field at the surface for a 1-in-100-year geomagnetic storm, combining geomagnetic latitude, storm-time magnetic field variation and regional ground conductivity, in volts per kilometre.
  2. Severe geomagnetic storm days per year
    Indicator · IND · d/a
    Average annual number of days on which planetary geomagnetic activity reaches NOAA G4 (severe) or G5 (extreme), that is Kp of 8- or more, averaged over the latest two full solar cycles.
  3. Strong solar radiation storm days per year
    Indicator · IND · d/a
    Average annual number of days with energetic proton flux at NOAA S3 (strong) or above, averaged over the latest two full solar cycles.
  4. PIB em atividades dependentes de GNSS, em %
    Indicator · IND · %
    Share of GDP generated by activities that cannot operate normally without satellite positioning, navigation or timing (logistics, aviation, maritime, precision agriculture, telecom and financial timing), from a dependence mapping of sector value added; target-only, model-based.
  5. Serviços críticos que dependem de satélites sem redundância, em %
    Indicator · IND · %
    Share of assessed critical service functions (communications to remote areas, broadcast, maritime and aviation safety, Earth observation for warning, timing) that rely on satellite links without a tested terrestrial fallback; expert-assessed.
  6. Rede de alta tensão em zonas de alta ameaça geoelétrica, em %
    Indicator · IND · %
    Share of transmission line length at 220 kV or above lying where the 100-year geoelectric field exceeds 2 V/km; modelled from grid topology and geoelectric hazard maps.
  7. Space-weather hazard sub-index
    Sub-index · SUB · w 1 · 50.0%
    Composite of the local 100-year geoelectric field with the global frequency of severe geomagnetic and strong radiation storms.
  8. Space-service dependence sub-index
    Sub-index · SUB · w 1 · 50.0%
    Composite of GNSS-dependent GDP share, satellite-reliant critical services without backup and high-voltage grid in high geoelectric hazard zones.
  9. Índice de exposição ao clima espacial
    Domain index · IDX · product
    0–10 index of space-weather exposure as the product of the space-weather hazard and space-service dependence sub-indices; mostly modelled and expert inputs, so its grade is capped.
  10. Exposição a ameaças
    Pillar · PILLAR · 5 indices
    What can strike, how often, how hard and who and what stands in its way?
  11. NXS-GRX (canonical data, provenance and risk) Composite Risk
    Composite · COMPOSITE · four pillars
    Composite = (HTE × VUL × MSF × LCC)^(1/4), each pillar on 0–10 floored at 0.1; pillar = expert-weighted geometric mean of its domain indices
