COMMENT: IPS HF Communications Warning 37 was issued on 19 August
and is current for 19-21 Aug. Conditions for HF radio wave propagation
were depressed throughout the Australian region during 19 August.
Similar HF conditions are expected for 20 and 21 Aug. These depressions
are the after-effects of the geomagnetic storm which commenced
on 15 August and continuos low levels of ionising solar flux.
The HF conditions are expected to slowly trend back towards mildly
depressed conditions relative to the long-term monthly prediction
of T=80.
