Quiet to unsettled conditions.
2. FORECAST (18 APRIL - 18 MAY)
Disturbed Periods:
No strong recurrent patterns, however mild activity may be experienced on:
23-26 Apr, 11 May, 14 May.
Best Quiet Periods:
18-22 Apr, 27 Apr to 10 May, 12-13 May.
3. FORECAST FOR HIGH RESOLUTION AEROMAGNETIC SURVEYS
Northern Australian Regions:
Disturbed Periods: None.
Central Australian Regions:
Disturbed Periods: None.
Best Quiet Periods: 18-24 Apr, 26-Apr to 18-May.
Southern Australian Regions:
Disturbed Periods: 26-Apr.
Best Quiet Periods: 18-23 Apr, 28-Apr to 8-May, 13-18 May.
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.
