HOW DOES ERGOs REAL-TIME PROPAGATION UPDATE WORK?
NOTE: The propagation update using the UPDATE1.DLL has been discontinued. This service is now provided through a companion program, ERGONet, as described below. A. As long as your computer has Intener access, ERGO and ERGO Lite will download a comprehensive solar and geomagnetic information report, and update the Solar Flux and K Index settings automatically. Access this feature through ‘Help | Propagation’ in the main menu. There are four sections in Propagation Update, as follows: • WWV Propagation Report. This is the same information provided over WWV each hour, i.e., Solar Flux, A-Index, K-Index and solar-terrestrial forecast. Increased K-Index and/or A-Index over 25 signify disturbed conditions. • Solar-Geophysical Activity Report. Comprehensive summary of current and near-term solar and geophysical activity. • Three Day Space Weather Predictions. Detailed K-Index predictions for middle and high latitudes, including probabilities for geomagnetic storms (hour-by-hour) and solar fla
