2A. MAGNETIC SUMMARY

Geomagnetic field for Australian Region 08 Oct: Quiet to Unsettled

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 08 Oct : 
      Charters_Towers      0   (Quiet)
      Learmonth            0   (Quiet)
      Camden              35   (Quiet to unsettled)
      Hobart              28   (Quiet to unsettled)

Pc3 pulsations are high frequency (10-45 second period) variations 
of the Earths magnetic field. Daily pc3-indices are the daily sum 
of 20 minute pc3-indices for that station and have been shown to be
well correlated with rejection of high resolution aeromagnetic
survey flight-line data.
