COMMENT: IPS HF Communications Warning 3 was issued on 11 January
and is current for interval 14-15 January. At near equatorial
latitudes (Townsville, Niue, Vanimo) extensive sporadic E (Es)
was observed, particuarly at night. Much of the Es was blanketing
the F layer. Es was also prevalent across mid-latitudes and southern
latitudes (e.g. Brisbane, Canberra, Norfolk Is) but often not
blanketing. Antarctic ionosphere was disturbed due to active-storm
geomagnetic conditions.
