NOTE: Indices may have been generated from data obtained in 
cooperation with the following organisations: Geoscience Australia, 
University of Newcastle Space Physics Group, Australian Government 
Antarctic Division and Space Environment Research Center, Japan.


Quiet to Unsettled conditions. Chance of Active periods and 
isolated Minor Storms between 28Feb-01Mar due to coronal
hole effects. 

2. FORECAST (28 FEBRUARY - 29 MARCH)
Disturbed Periods: 
Active on 8 Mar.

Best Quiet Periods: 
 2 Mar to 7 Mar,   15 Mar,  18 Mar to 25 Mar.

3. FORECAST FOR HIGH RESOLUTION AEROMAGNETIC SURVEYS

Northern Australian Regions: NA

Central Australian Regions:
 Disturbed Periods: None.
 Best Quiet Periods: 3 Mar to 5 Mar,  15 Mar to 24 Mar.

Southern Australian Regions: NA

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.
