2. FORECAST (05 FEBRUARY - 07 MARCH)
Disturbed Periods: 
2 Mar.

Best Quiet Periods: 
 6-16 Feb,  20-21 Feb,  24 Feb,  26-27 Feb.

3. FORECAST FOR HIGH RESOLUTION AEROMAGNETIC SURVEYS

Disturbed Periods: None.

Central Australian Regions: 
Disturbed Periods: None.

Southern Australian Regions:

 Best Quiet Periods: 9-21 Feb.


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.
