*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.

Quiet to unsettled conditions with some brief activity on 29 Dec.
A weak (11nT) impulse was observed in the IPS magnetometer data at
1115UT on 28 Dec. 

2. FORECAST (05 JANUARY - 04 FEBRUARY)
Disturbed Periods: No strong recurrent patterns, however mild activity
may be experienced on 5 Jan to 7 Jan, 30 Jan.

Best Quiet Periods: 
 9 Jan to 29 Jan, 31 Jan, 4 Feb.

3. FORECAST FOR HIGH RESOLUTION AEROMAGNETIC SURVEYS

Northern Australian Regions:
 Disturbed Periods: None.
 Best Quiet Periods: 8 Jan to 31 Jan, 4 Feb.

Central Australian Regions:
 Disturbed Periods: None.
 Best Quiet Periods: 8 Jan to 31 Jan, 4 Feb.

Southern Australian Regions:
 Disturbed Periods: None.
 Best Quiet Periods: 8 Jan to 31 Jan, 4 Feb.

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.
