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.
2. FORECAST (12 MARCH - 11 APRIL)
Disturbed Periods:
active on 13 Mar.
Best Quiet Periods:
12 Mar, 15-21 Mar, 23-25 Mar, 27-29 Mar, 31 Mar-3 Apr, 5 Apr-8 Apr.
3. FORECAST FOR HIGH RESOLUTION AEROMAGNETIC SURVEYS
Northern Australian Regions: Quiet for March.
Central Australian Regions: Mildly disturbed 13-14 March and 27-28 March,
otherwise quiet for the month.
Southern Australian Regions:
Disturbed Periods: 13-14 March and 27-28 March, otherwise quiet for the Month.
Best Quiet Periods: 12 Mar, 15 Mar to 25 Mar, 28 Mar to 7 Apr.
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.
PLEASE NOTE:
Geomagnetic activity can frequently be determined by short timescale
solar events that cannot be forecast a week in advance, particularly
at solar maximum.
