*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 International Center for Space Weather 
Science and Education, Japan.

A weak (12nT) impulse was observed 13 Nov/0416 UT in the IPS
magnetometer data. Active on 13-14 Nov, quiet to unsettled on other
days.

2. FORECAST (22 NOVEMBER - 22 DECEMBER)
Disturbed Periods: 23-24 Nov.

Best Quiet Periods: 29 Nov to 3 Dec, 05 Dec to 08 Dec, 11 Dec to 22 Dec.

3. FORECAST FOR HIGH RESOLUTION AEROMAGNETIC SURVEYS
Northern Australian Regions:
Disturbed periods: none
Best Quiet periods: 22 Nov, 26 Nov to 22 Dec

Central Australian Regions:
Mildly Disturbed periods: 23 Nov to 24 Nov
Best Quiet periods: 22 Nov, 26 Nov to 22 Dec

Southern Australian Regions:
Disturbed periods: 23 Nov to 24 Nov
Best Quiet periods: 26 Nov to 22 Dec

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.
