solar-weather
Monitor solar weather conditions including geomagnetic storms, solar flares, aurora forecasts, and solar wind data. Uses NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center real-time data.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/capt-marbles/solar-weatherWhat This Skill Does
The Solar Weather Monitor is a specialized tool designed to pull real-time data from the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center. It acts as an early-warning and monitoring system for the complex electromagnetic environment between the Earth and the Sun. By analyzing solar flares, geomagnetic storms, solar radiation levels, and solar wind metrics, it provides actionable intelligence for anyone concerned with space-borne weather impacts. The tool translates complex, raw scientific data into human-readable statuses and actionable alerts, making space weather accessible to non-scientists.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw agent, use the following terminal command. Ensure you have the necessary environment permissions to run terminal tools within your agent instance:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/capt-marbles/solar-weather
Once installed, you can invoke the functionality using the solar-weather.py interface directly or through your agent's natural language processing interface.
Use Cases
This skill is indispensable for several professional and hobbyist groups. Aurora chasers use the geomagnetic and solar wind (Bz) data to determine the best times to travel to high-latitude locations to view the Northern Lights. Satellite operators use it to monitor for radiation storms (S-scale) that could impact electronics or orbital stability. Ham radio operators rely on the R-scale (Radio Blackouts) to understand ionospheric conditions before initiating long-range communications. Finally, power grid operators use the G-scale (Geomagnetic Storms) to anticipate potential surges in electrical distribution networks.
Example Prompts
- "OpenClaw, what is the current solar weather status and are there any active G-scale warnings?"
- "Can you check the solar wind data for me? Specifically, what is the current Bz reading?"
- "Is there a strong chance of seeing the aurora tonight based on the latest 3-day forecast?"
Tips & Limitations
When interpreting the data, always prioritize the G-scale for aurora predictions. Remember that a negative Bz component in the solar wind data is the primary catalyst for significant aurora activity, but it must be paired with sufficient geomagnetic activity to yield visible results. Please note that this skill relies on an active internet connection to query NOAA's real-time API; if the API service is experiencing maintenance or if your local environment lacks network access, the data may fail to update. Always check the timestamp of the retrieved data to ensure you are not viewing cached information.
