🧲 Geomagnetic Storm Index Lab: Dst & Kp from Solar Wind (2D)

2D geomagnetic-storm lab: a real Burton-model Dst injection/decay ODE driven by solar-wind speed, density and southward IMF Bz, with live storm classification and a Kp-index proxy.

This 2D companion isolates the geomagnetic-storm-index math the 3D scene only implies: a Burton et al. injection/decay ODE turns solar-wind speed, density and the southward component of the interplanetary magnetic field into a real ring-current Dst* trajectory, adds a separate dynamic-pressure correction for the observed Dst, and reads out a Kp-index proxy and the live storm classification (quiet / minor / moderate / intense) against the same thresholds NOAA space-weather forecasters use — a "Launch CME shock" button spikes speed and Bz together so you can watch a real storm's injection, peak and multi-hour recovery play out.
