Aurora

Auroral Observatory, Tromsø, Norway

The Auroral Observatory, Institute of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, University of Tromsø, Norway.

Poker Flat Research Range

Poker Flat Research Range, Fairbanks, Alaska is operated by the University of Alaska's Geophysical Institute. In addition to launching sounding rockets, Poker Flat is home to many scientific instruments designed to study the arctic atmosphere and ionosphere. They provide an Aurora Forecast.

Solar terrestrial Dispatch

SUPERB - for Aurora, Solar Data, Radio Data
Just select the option eg:

Auroral Activity	(latest visibility) Visibilty ranges from Bright Red - Brown Green = quiet
Solar Activity	(latest SOHO EIT image) (latest Visible) (reload image if not current)
