2. FORECAST (08 MARCH - 07 APRIL)
Disturbed Periods: Active 12-14 March.

Best Quiet Periods: 15-25 Mar.

3. FORECAST FOR HIGH RESOLUTION AEROMAGNETIC SURVEYS

Northern Australian Regions: NA

Central Australian Regions:
 Disturbed Periods: 10 Mar to 13 Mar.
 Best Quiet Periods: 17 Mar to 1 Apr.

Southern Australian Regions:
 Disturbed Periods: None.
 Best Quiet Periods: 8 Mar to 9 Mar,  14 Mar to 22 Mar,  26 Mar to 31 Mar.

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.
