GFZ is in charge of deriving and disseminating the geomagnetic definitive Kp and its related indices (ap, Ap, Cp) indices that dates back to1932 and is endorsed by the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy (IAGA): https://www.gfz-potsdam.de/en/kp-index/.  

GFZ is responsible for providing global geomagnetic nowcast Kp, ap and Ap indices to ESA’s Space Situational Awareness (SSA) Space Weather (SWE)Geomagnetic Conditions Expert Service Centre (G-ESC): http://swe.ssa.esa.int/en_GB/gfz-kp-federated.
