solar_wind
Pack: noaa-swpc · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/noaa-swpc/mcp
Real-time solar wind from the active spacecraft (DSCOVR/ACE): plasma (proton speed km/s, density p/cm³, temperature K) plus interplanetary magnetic field (bt, and bz in GSE/GSM — sustained southward bz_gsm is what drives geomagnetic storms). 1-minute cadence, last 24 hours available.

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
window | string | no | How many trailing minutes of 1-minute samples to return: 5-minute (default, current conditions) | 1-hour | 2-hour | 1-day |
