The feeds
Every feed Orbital Network republishes, and how it behaved in the last 24 hours. Latency is the time between the source's own timestamp on a record and the moment it entered our store.†

†For station readings, the source timestamp is the instrument's own observation time. For event catalogues (earthquakes, cyclones, wildfires), it is the time the source last updated the record; long-lived events — a wildfire burning for weeks — carry that history with them, so their figures run long. Both are measured from the store, never estimated.
Refused records — quarantine
Records that fail Orbital Network's provenance rules are refused a place in the store — counted here, never silently dropped, never repaired into looking true.

Silent stations
A station is silent when it is registered as active but no new report from it has reached the store in over 24 hours — or none has arrived since this record began on 13 October 2026. Silence is how instruments disappear; this is where we publish it.

How to read this page
- Latency
- Republication latency: how long after the source's own timestamp a record entered our store. The median is the typical record; p90 is the slower end — nine records in ten arrived faster.
- Stale at ingest
- The share of station readings whose observation was already more than 6 hours old when it reached us — the same threshold the public site uses to label data outdated. Counted, not hidden.
- Quarantine
- Records our rules refuse: a timestamp that could not be true, a missing identifier, coordinates that cannot exist. They are kept aside for diagnosis and counted above.
- Silence
- A station that stops reporting leaves no announcement — it simply stops. We track the gap from the station's last received report.
Nothing on this page is estimated, sampled, or carried in from outside: every number is an aggregate over Orbital Network's own event store, republished from official sources — USGS, NOAA (NHC and NDBC), NASA EONET, GDACS, and USGS NWIS. Orbital Network reports on the instruments; official hazard warnings remain the agencies' own.
