Background information, methodology, data sources, and brand assets for journalists, writers, and publishers covering aurora forecasting and northern lights travel.
What AuroraVision Is
AuroraVision is an independent northern lights forecast service built in Iceland by IceVeflausnir. It combines real-time solar wind data from NOAA DSCOVR satellite measurements with location-specific cloud cover forecasts to produce a single Visibility Score (0–100%) that updates every 2 minutes.
The service provides live KP index, solar wind Bz/Bt, particle density, and cloud cover for aurora viewing locations across Iceland, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Alaska, Yukon, and globally through iOS and Android apps.
AuroraVision is not affiliated with NOAA, the Icelandic Meteorological Office, or any government agency. It is an independent consumer service that interprets publicly available space weather data for general audiences.
Key Facts
Visibility Score Methodology
The AuroraVision Visibility Score is a deterministic weighted formula — not a machine-learning model. The same inputs always produce the same score.
Solar Wind Bz45%
Solar Wind Speed25%
Total IMF (Bt)15%
Cloud Cover10%
Particle Density5%
Full methodology documentation is available at auroravision.is/visibility-score.
