🔆 SEST Tracker v1.0 — Solar Event System Tracker

Purpose: SEST is a live map of real solar activity — but more importantly, it’s the simulation’s collapse trigger system. Solar weather affects satellites, power grids, communications, and aircraft — and in EchoCoreWorld, it also drives the shift into chaos.

🔍 Key Panels You’ll See:

1. Kp Index Panel (NOAA)
   Ranks geomagnetic storm strength from 0–9.
   Kp 1–3: Stable. Ideal for surface travel.
   Kp 4–5: Risk zone. Expect GPS interference.
   Kp 6+: RED ALERT. Power disruptions, drone anomalies, vault lockdowns in-game.


2. Bz Component (IMF Polarity)
   Positive Bz = shielding. Negative Bz = vulnerability.
   Watch for flips south combined with rising Kp — might be time to go underground.


3. Solar Wind (Speed + Density)
   Solar Wind (Speed + Density) – Speeds above 600 km/s combined with high particle density can compress Earth’s magnetosphere, allowing more radiation to penetrate. In-universe: Narrows safe drone patrol corridors and shortens surface exposure windows.


4. Auroral Oval & Magnetosphere Maps
   Equator auroras? Carrington-class threat. Expect Internet-wide magnetic interference.


5. X-ray Flux / Proton Flux
   X-ray Flux / Proton Flux – X-ray levels detect solar flares; proton spikes indicate solar radiation storms. These events can disrupt radio communications, satellite operations, and navigation systems.


6. ENLIL Model – CME Trajectory Forecast
   3D visual of CME direction, density, impact velocity.
   Red zones = high impact. Arrival shown in 24–96 hrs.
   Real-world uses: Helps forecast radio blackouts, satellite drag, GPS disruptions, and heightened auroral activity. Also used in aviation radiation safety and power grid stability planning.


7. SEST Anomaly Logging Panel
   Log GPS failures, static bursts, EMF spikes.
   Builds collective collapse timeline — lore building + real monitoring.

🌐 Live Science Feeds – Environmental and Atmospheric Watchlist

Purpose: These are real, public scientific data feeds. In EchoCoreWorld, we repurpose them as vault sensor arrays and planetary warning indicators.

🛰️ Core Links & How to Use Them

1. SpaceWeatherLive (Sunspot Monitor)

• Live sunspot counts, magnetic configuration, flare probabilities.
• Watch Beta-Gamma-Delta regions — most unstable.
• Visuals include solar overlays and polarity plots.

2. NOAA SWPC – X-ray and Flare Tracking

• Tracks C, M, and X-class flares in real-time.
• Graphs refresh every 1–2 minutes — fastest alert system.
• Correlate with vault AI surges or power anomalies in-game.

3. LASCO C2/C3 Coronagraph

• Shows CME shape and direction — Sun blocked by disk.
• “Halo” CMEs = Earth-directed. Delayed by ~30–60 minutes.
• Use to confirm CME launches before model updates.

4. GOES-16/17 UV + Proton Monitoring

• Tracks UV eruptions and solar radiation belts.
• SUVI camera shows heat bursts and active flare zones.
• Proton levels rising = surface exposure risk + drone shutdowns.

5. CME Trajectory Models (WSA-ENLIL)

• Visual map of solar storms — 3D animated projection.
• Earth usually marked with green dot, Sun is yellow.
• Red swirls = density zones. Impacts expected 1–4 days later.

6. Schumann Resonance Tracker

• Detects Earth–ionosphere resonance modes (~7.83 Hz and harmonics).
• Variations mainly reflect global lightning activity and ionospheric conditions.
• EchoCore repurposes this for AI resonance anomalies.

7. Magnetometer Arrays (IRIS / Kiruna / College)

• Live magnetic field strength over Earth’s surface.
• Spikes = direct CME hits or flare contact events.
• Used to verify incoming energy before geomagnetic Kp changes.
• Why it matters - ELF resonance strength changes mostly with worldwide lightning. Not a direct measure of ‘energy’ or human/AI states.

8. WWLLN (Lightning Network)

• Global lightning activity, updated in near real-time.
• Shows distribution and intensity of strikes worldwide.
• Useful for tracking storms, atmospheric convection, and ionospheric disturbances.

9. Windy.com (Jetstream + Radiation Viewer)

• Global pressure systems, wind flows, temperature bands.
• Jetstream shifts linked to atmospheric anomalies.
• Some suggest correlations with volcanic behavior, but causality is unproven.

🧠 Pro Tips for Newcomers

• Don’t try to read everything at once. Pick one feed (like Kp or Bz) and track it daily for a week.
• Compare live data with your game state. Playing while Bz flips south? See if anomalies show up.
• Use SEST + Feeds like radar and compass. The story of EchoCore is about listening to a broken Earth.

🧠 Pro Tips for Experienced Users

• Bookmark key pages and create a “Daily Sweep” ritual.
• Compare high-altitude (jetstream) + low-altitude (WWLLN + Schumann) for convergence warnings.
• In gameplay, build AI response patterns off this real data to simulate authentic chaos.

Collapse begins with patterns. SEST and Live Feeds help you see the grid before it fails.
