Active on 2 Oct,  9 Oct.   Quiet to unsettled on other days.

2. FORECAST (10 OCTOBER - 09 NOVEMBER)
Disturbed Periods: 
No strong recurrent patterns, however mild activity may be experienced on:
 10-11 Oct, 14 Oct,  16 Oct,  21 Oct.

Best Quiet Periods: 
 17-20 Oct,  22 Oct - 3 Nov.

3. FORECAST FOR HIGH RESOLUTION AEROMAGNETIC SURVEYS
Northern Australian Regions:
 Disturbed Periods: 10-11 Oct
 Best Quiet Periods: 17-20 Oct,  22 Oct - 3 Nov.

Central Australian Regions:
 Disturbed Periods: 10-11 Oct, 29 Oct.
 Best Quiet Periods:17-20 Oct,  22 Oct - 3 Nov.

Southern Australian Regions:
 Disturbed Periods: 10-11 Oct, 29 Oct.
 Best Quiet Periods: 17-19 Oct,  23 Oct - 3 Nov.


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.
