*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.


Active and Storm conditions on, 7-9 Mar and 12 Mar. Quiet to unsettled on other
days.

2. FORECAST (15 MARCH - 14 APRIL)
Disturbed Periods: 
Mild activity may be Experienced on:
16-17 Mar and 12-13 Apr.

Best Quiet Periods: 
 21-24 Mar, 27 Mar, 3-10 Apr.


3. FORECAST FOR HIGH RESOLUTION AEROMAGNETIC SURVEYS
Northern Australian Regions:
Disturbed Periods: None.
Best Quiet Periods: 20-27 Mar,  2-10 Apr.

Central Australian Regions:
Mildly disturbed Periods: 16-17 Mar.
Best Quiet Periods: 20-27 Mar, 2-10 Apr.

Southern Australian Regions:
Disturbed Periods: 16-17 Mar.
Best Quiet Periods: 20 -27 Mar, 2-10 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.
