["Low-frequency navigation signals degraded for brief intervals", "Degradation of low-frequency navigation signals for tens of minutes", "Low-frequency navigation signals degraded for about an hour", "Outages of low-frequency navigation signals cause increased error in positioning for one to two hours. Minor disruptions of satellite navigation possible on the sunlit side of Earth", "Low-frequency navigation signals used by maritime and general aviation systems experience outages on the sunlit side of the Earth for many hours, causing loss in positioning. Increased satellite navigation errors in positioning for several hours on the sunlit side of Earth, which may spread into the night side"]

["Weak or minor degradation of HF radio communication on sunlit side, occasional loss of radio contact", "Limited blackout of HF radio communication on sunlit side, loss of radio contact for tens of minutes", "Wide area blackout of HF radio communication, loss of radio contact for about an hour on sunlit side of Earth", "HF radio communication blackout on most of the sunlit side of Earth for one to two hours. HF radio contact lost during this time", "Complete HF (high frequency) radio blackout on the entire sunlit side of the Earth lasting for a number of hours. This results in no HF radio contact with mariners and en route aviators in this sector"]

View sunrise, sunset, geomagnetic storms and golden hour times for any date

This app will help you determine the exact time of sunrise and sunset, day length, beginning and end of twilight time, geomagnetic conditions, choose the best time for photography, get notification about the beginning of magnetic storm, see image of the Sun in different spectra.
