active 6 Dec to 8 Dec, active on 12 Dec.
quiet to unsettled on other days.

2. FORECAST (14 DECEMBER - 13 JANUARY)
Disturbed Periods: 
active on 16 Dec, active on 21 Dec, active 2 Jan to 4 Jan.
major storm 14 Dec to 15 Dec.

Best Quiet Periods: 
 17 Dec to 19 Dec,  24 Dec to 26 Dec,  28 Dec to 1 Jan,  5 Jan to 7 Jan.

3. FORECAST FOR HIGH RESOLUTION AEROMAGNETIC SURVEYS

Northern Australian Regions:
 Disturbed Periods: 14 Dec to 17 Dec.
 Best Quiet Periods: 24 Dec to 8 Jan.

Central Australian Regions:
 Disturbed Periods:  14 Dec to 17 Dec., 5 Jan.
 Best Quiet Periods: 24 Dec to 30 Dec.

Southern Australian Regions:
 Disturbed Periods: 14 Dec to 17 Dec.

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.
