Antarctic Division and Space Environment Research Center, Japan.
Geomagnetic activity remained mostly at quiet levels during this period
with quiet to unsettled conditions from 19 to 21 May due to the effect
of a coronal hole.

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.
