1) Holding health plans and providers accountable for providing high-quality health care: Tying things like accreditation, certification, public reporting, and financial incentives (or penalties) to the quality of health care can encourage health plans and providers to deliver the best care possible.
Auroras are indicators of the connection between the Earth and the sun. The frequency of auroras correlates to the frequency of solar activity and the sun's 11-year cycle of activity.As the process of fusion occurs inside the sun, it spews high-energy particles (ions, electrons, protons, neutrinos) and radiation in the solar wind. When they hit the ionosphere region of the Earth's upper atmosphere, they collide with ions of oxygen and nitrogen. 2  The particles impact the oxygen and nitrogen ions and transfer their energy to these ions.
To determine if the aurora will be visible from your area, follow these steps for using the auroral forecast website. Step 1. First read the section on Interpreting the Auroral Forecast and select a map appropriate for your area. You will see your map displayed for each of the 10 forecast levels (0 to 9). Find the levels where your location is inside the green line. For example, on the North America map, Chicago requires a 3 to see the aurora on the northern horizon and at least a 5 to see it overhead. Step 2. Check activity predicted for the day of interest. Return to the main forecast for the day of interest.
