A system and method forecast geomagnetic events and resulting currents from ground and space weather data including solar wind velocity data and interplanetary magnetic field data. The system has a processor including a first prediction generator for predicting a midnight equatorial boundary (MEB) value; a second prediction generator for predicting a polar cap potential (PCP) value from the ground and space weather data; an AL and AU prediction generator for predicting AL and AU values; a Kp value generator for generating a Kp-related value; an electric field pattern generator for determining electric field patterns from the Kp value, the PCP value and the, ground and space weather data; a …

Why it's free to use
- Filed January 6, 1997 and granted December 12, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended January 6, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by January 6, 2019.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
