COMMENT: MUFs were mainly near predicted monthly values across 
the Australian region, with Moderate depressions during the local 
day in the Northern Australian region, during the UT day 2 March. 
There were also isolated cases of Sporadic E blanketing over 
some Australian ionosonde sites. MUFs are expected to be near 
predicted monthly values across the Australian region on 3 March, 
with possible Minor to Moderate depressions in the Northern Australian 
and Niue Island Regions during the local day. Minor to Moderate 
depressions in MUFs may occur on 4-5 March, depending on the 
arrival of possible geomagnetic activity.
