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 expected for the forecast period. Chance 
of isolated Active periods due to transient effects from recent CME 
activity.

2. FORECAST (03 JANUARY - 02 FEBRUARY)
Disturbed Periods: 
Active 13 Jan to 14 Jan.

Best Quiet Periods: 
  3 Jan,  8 Jan to 12 Jan,  18 Jan to 29 Jan.

3. FORECAST FOR HIGH RESOLUTION AEROMAGNETIC SURVEYS

Northern Australian Regions: NA

Central Australian Regions:
 Disturbed Periods: None.
 Best Quiet Periods: 3 Jan to 11 Jan,  19 Jan to 28 Jan.

Southern Australian Regions:
 Disturbed Periods:  14 Jan.
 Best Quiet Periods: 3 Jan to 11 Jan,  18 Jan to 28 Jan.

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.
