2025–2026 Data Status
The 2025 season data (12 confirmed formations from Temporary Temples) and 2 x 2026 formations are now in the system as new_records_2025_2026.csv. Key solar finding: G4 storm (Kp=8) confirmed May 31–June 1, 2025 — largest storm of the season. F10.7 = 169 sfu. Associated with the June 8 (Avebury 10-fold star) and June 10 (Stonehenge joker) formations via the 7-day pre-window. The 3-day strict window is a tension case for those events. Solar declination for June 22–23 formations: 23.45° — peak summer solstice. See Analysis and Solar Angle tabs.

3-Day Window Hypothesis
Hypothesis
Geomagnetic storms (G1+, Kp≥5) arriving at Earth 1–3 days after a solar event produce the coupling conditions required for formation. The solar_in_G1_window_3d field encodes whether any G1+ storm occurred within 3 days before or on the formation date. Key 2025 finding: the G4 storm (Kp=8) of May 31–June 1 was outside the strict 3-day window for the June 8 (Avebury) and June 10 (Stonehenge) formations but within the 7-day pre-window. This is a tension case requiring expansion of the window definition or confirmation of a closer minor event.

Solar Angle / Declination Analysis
Earth-Sun Angle Hypothesis
Solar declination ranges from −23.4° (winter solstice) to +23.4° (summer solstice). The 2025 season produced notable formations at peak declination — Hackpen Hill (June 22) and Charlton (June 23) both appeared at 23.45° — the solstice maximum. If the solar coupling mechanism is angle-dependent (e.g., perpendicular solar wind coupling to the UK latitude, or maximum ionospheric charging at summer solstice), formations should cluster at high declination values above what crop availability alone predicts. The Avebury complex sits at 51.4°N — at summer solstice, solar elevation at noon peaks at 62°, maximising direct illumination of the chalk geology.

Solar Angle Statistical Summary
Seasonal Confound
UK wheat: May–Aug (dec +15° to +23.4° to +16°). OSR: April–June (+5° to +23.4°). Formation clustering at high declination is partly explained by crop availability. To test the angle hypothesis rigorously: compare formation-day declination distribution against all crop-present-day declination distribution for the same year range. This control dataset does not yet exist. It is the next data acquisition target.

Geomagnetic Substrate Charge Index (SCI)
What This Shows
The Substrate Charge Index (SCI) models the current geomagnetic charge state of each known UK GCE site using the RC circuit battery model. Solar input (Kp, X-ray flux, solar wind, Bz) accumulated over the past 7 days is run through each site's capacitance function to produce a real-time charge percentage. When a site crosses its discharge threshold (~100%) and a trigger event arrives (CH HSS pressure front, Bz southward flip, minor Kp pulse), a GCE formation becomes possible. This is not a prediction of a formation — it is a readiness indicator. Human circlemakers can also produce formations at any charge level.

MODEL EXPLANATION
RC Circuit Analogy
Each GCE site behaves like a capacitor in an RC circuit. Solar electromagnetic input charges the capacitor (adds to Q). The site's geology and monument anchor determine the capacitance (C_site) — chalk aquifers with monument anchors hold more charge for longer. The RC time constant τ = C × R sets how quickly charge naturally decays.
High-τ sites (Avebury, τ≈2.8d) hold a G4 storm charge for a week. Low-τ sites (Devon, τ≈2.4d) discharge within 2 days of a storm. The 3-day window that appears in the database statistics is an artefact of the most common τ class — not a physical constant.
Charge Components (dQ per day)
q_kp = (Kp/9)² × 3.0 geomagnetic storm energy
q_bz = Bz_south_hrs × 0.08 gate-open time
q_xray = flare_class_norm X-ray flux (M5=1.0)
q_f107 = (F10.7 − 70) / 100 background UV/EUV
q_ch_hss = 1.5 × SW_excess coronal hole HSS
q_dst = |Dst_min| / 100 ring current energy
Q(t+1) = (Q(t) + dQ) × e−dt/τ
Data Limitations
Live Bz southward hours, solar wind speed, and F10.7 are estimated from GOES X-ray flux and Kp — the full set of NOAA parameters requires additional API calls. Actual site soil moisture, water table depth, and real-time geological conductivity are not measured. This is a research-grade estimate, not a geophysical instrument reading. Treat all charge percentages as indicative of relative solar loading, not absolute physical quantities.
