International Q-Days and D-Days ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Classification of Days (deduced from Kp indices) The selection of the quietest days (Q-days) and most disturbed days (D-days) of each month is deduced from the Kp indices on the basis of three criteria for each day: 1. ... In order to indicate such a situation, selected days which do not satisfy certain absolute criteria are marked as follows. ...
