Worldwide geomagnetic data, GIC indices and alert: World Data Center of Geomagnetism (WDC) observatories
========================================================================================================

.. contents:: Table of contents

As specified for product WDCmag, data from World Data Center of Geomagnetism observatories will be used only for the limited number of events that will be selected, so that a manual selection of the observatories and of the time period will be made. For the selected observatories GIC index (specifically GICx and GICy) will be calculated.
