Russia has developed a service that predicts aurora

To predict the aurora, the team used  solar wind parameters and

interplanetary magnetic field,  which they continuously receive from the ACE and DSCOVR satellites. Both objects are located on the line Earth — The sun, they are 1.5 million km away from our planet.

Researchers from Ufa StateAviation Technical University under the leadership of Associate Professor Andrey Vorobyov together with the Institute of Physics of the Earth named after. O. Yu. Shmidt RAS and the Geophysical Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences have created a web geographic information system (web GIS) for forecasting auroras that has no analogues in the world. It provides a short-term forecast of auroral intensity in real time.
