Short summary
The complete time series of the geomagnetic disturbance index (K) from Norwegian magnetic observatories have been digitized. We compare and discuss the tree methods used to derive the index, finding that each method has strengths and weaknesses. In total, we present all K indices derived from Norwegian observatories since the 1930s until today, the used derivation methods and the long historic time series as a whole, enabling critical use for future scientific work.
