Hi Bill,

Yes go to:

http://www.sec.noaa.gov/NOAAscales/#GeomagneticStorms

At the bottom of that page you will find R1 up to R5 explained;
the reading is based upon recent solar flare events.  Note that
a few other scales are also explained here.  You can link
about to all sorts of solar/radio propagation info from 
this site as well.

Have fun!
