SUBJ: IPS WEEKLY GEOPHYSICAL REPORT 
ISSUED ON 22 MAY 2008, BY IPS RADIO AND SPACE SERVICES,
FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE

1. SUMMARY (13 MAY - 21 MAY)
K indices are in UT (0-24). For conversion to local time:
AEST = UT + 10 hours; ACST = UT + 9.5 hours; AWST = UT + 8 hours

*estimated from real time data

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.

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.


2. FORECAST (22 MAY - 21 JUNE)
Disturbed Periods: 
Unsettled to active on 17 Jun.

Best Quiet Periods: 
 3 Jun to 14 Jun.

3. FORECAST FOR HIGH RESOLUTION AEROMAGNETIC SURVEYS

Northern Australian Regions: NA

Central Australian Regions:
 Disturbed Periods: None.
 Best Quiet Periods: 25 May to 29 May,  4 Jun to 11 Jun.

Southern Australian Regions:
 Disturbed Periods: None.
 Best Quiet Periods: 22 May to 28 May,  4 Jun to 11 Jun.

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.
