Antarctic Division and Space Environment Research Center, Japan.


Primarly Quiet conditions have been observed during the previous week.

3. FORECAST FOR HIGH RESOLUTION AEROMAGNETIC SURVEYS

Northern Australian Regions:
 Disturbed Periods: None.
 Best Quiet Periods: 19 May to 25 May,  1 Jun to 11 Jun. 

Central Australian Regions:  
 Disturbed Periods: 27 May to 31 May, 12 Jun to 13 Jun.
 Best Quiet Periods: 19 May to 25 May,  1 Jun to 11 Jun.

 Best Quiet Periods: 19 May to 25 May,  2 Jun to 10 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.

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.
