 POES Data Difficulties
  Due to annual maintenance, POES data are not fully available. As SWPC works to address the situation, we have an auroral test product that you might be interested in at http://helios.swpc.noaa.gov/ovation/.
  The plots on this page show the current extent and position of the auroral oval at each pole, extrapolated from measurements taken during the most recent polar pass of the NOAA POES satellite. "Center time" is the calculated time halfway through the satellite's pass over the pole.
