This one is a little different. I am hosting my friend Alex in the studio, so we meander around the subject of "what is the KP index, and how does it relate to the Schumann Resonance?"
It's also different, because this is the firs one I ran through Adobe Premeire, to stitch-together a few 33-min videos, for one 76-min, one. 

(...I think in some ways this is a SYS TEST video.) 

Often, we see the KP Index chart given with the Schumann Spectro-. What is the KP Index, and how does it effect the Schumann? We examine the KP Index, and surrounding technical aspects of arriving at this logrithmical equation. 

We visit Spaceweathernews.com: look at the sun across the Angstroms scales. Introducing Alex to some of the tools of spaceweather-observing. 

Continuing the analogy of the magnetic resonances being compared with strings of a musical instrument/guitar. (We are looking to make music  based on The Schumann Spectro-)
We discuss the solar observatory tools, and what we are looking-at with the observation tools.

The Basic Text: First, let us define what is the KP Index...
"The Kp-index is the global geomagnetic activity  index that is based on 3-hour measurements from ground-based  magnetometers around the world. Each station is calibrated according to  its latitude and reports a certain K-indice depending on the geomagnetic  activity measured at the location of the magnetometer. 
"The K-index  itself is a three hour long quasi-logarithmic local index of the  geomagnetic activity at the given location and time compared to a calm  day curve. 
"A magnetometer measures the maximum deviation of the  horizontal component of the magnetic field at its location and reports  this. The global Kp-index is then determined with an algorithm that puts  the reported K-values of every station together. 
"The Kp-index ranges  from 0 to 9 where a value of 0 means that there is very little  geomagnetic activity and a value of 9 means extreme geomagnetic  storming."

Seen Through Schumann's Eyes...
The K-indice measures a composite of geomagnetic activity, based upon computational analysis. 0 is fair weather "nothing happening"; where 9 is extreme weather! 
This measurement is magnetics only, and a composite over a geographical area. 
Schumann magnetometers are given in actual number values, in picoTeslas.
KP index measures nanoTeslas; one thousand times bigger/stronger than Schumann energies. 
One of the pictures is a SI illustration, giving you to relative size of scale in difference. 
As you can see in this illustration, of the relative difference between the two scales, the Schumann magnetometers are set too sensitively to be picking up the same signals, as the Earth geomagnetical field/connection with the sun. 
There's an initial push, we see on high K days, which causes the "twang" of the strings, the "magnetic strings" of the standard, normal resonances, in their "usual state"; which is generally in the green mode bands. 
It's once we see the "mid-grade" magnetics of the oranges, rust, maroon colours, that we notice something from the KP side of the magnetic field. 
Schumann resonances are measuring the skipping along, over time; essentially stacking-up, like pancakes, or flapjacks. 
I'm making references to musical instruments, because I think an acoustic guitar/lute/banjo, etc., is the most Universal illustration I can Give. 
Mid-grade refers to the two modes of the Yellow/2, and Red/3. These are our colours to work with, but applied into action, we get rust, orange, coral, maroon...as we dip into Mode 4, the Green. 
Often, high KP days, have an electrical component, which has arrived EARLIER, by the Phi Angle. This is how they are related. 
So, the initial "strum" (or the clanging of our hypothetical "bell" (which Schumann talked about) is the electrics/Amplitude. In short time later, the KP Magnetometers kick into action, and give you that index. 
Yet, on the Schumann side, we feel the Amplitude, and resultant "mid-grade electrics", which grabs the KP index "strings" of our hypothetical musical instrument analogy. 
Then, successively, the KP magnetics kicks in a "strum" of the magnetic strings...which were already resonating, and vibrating from those Electrics...and what it's like is like a line amplifier, magnifying, amplifying what's already there. 


Ok, so that's as basic as I can make it, without getting caught-up in the verbage of it. 


Please, leave me comments and feel free to ask questions. 
I'd like to know if this is intelligible.
