University of Newcastle Space Physics Group, Australian Government 
Antarctic Division and International Center for Space Weather 
Science and Education, Japan.


Active on 19-20 Feb,  23 Feb.   Quiet to unsettled on other days.

2. FORECAST (27 FEBRUARY - 29 MARCH)
Disturbed Periods: 
No strong recurrent patterns, however mild activity may be experienced on:
 27 Feb,  1 Mar,  7 Mar,  9 Mar,  20 Mar.

Best Quiet Periods: 
 28 Feb,  2-6 Mar,  8 Mar,  10-19 Mar,  21-25 Mar.

3. FORECAST FOR HIGH RESOLUTION AEROMAGNETIC SURVEYS - based on recurrence
Northern Australian Regions: NA

Central Australian Regions:
 Mildly Disturbed Periods: 19th March
 Best Quiet Periods: 27 Feb to 18 Mar, 20-29 March.

Southern Australian Regions:
 Disturbed Periods: 19th March
 Best Quiet Periods: 27 Feb to 7 Mar,  10-18 Mar,  20-25 Mar.


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.
