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.
Quiet to Unsettled conditions during the previous week. Unsettled
to Active periods expected for the first half of the forecast week
due to recurrent coronal hole effects.
2. FORECAST (26 OCTOBER - 25 NOVEMBER)
Disturbed Periods:
26 Oct-27 Oct, 8-12 Nov, 20-23 Nov.
Best Quiet Periods:
30 Oct to 6 Nov, 13-14 Nov, 17-19 Nov.
3. FORECAST FOR HIGH RESOLUTION AEROMAGNETIC SURVEYS
Northern Australian Regions:
Disturbed Periods: None.
Best Quiet Periods: 26 Oct to 20 Nov.
Central Australian Regions:
Mildly Disturbed Periods: 26 Oct-27 Oct, 08 Nov-12 Nov.
Best Quiet Periods: 29 Oct to 07 Nov, 13-14 Nov, 17-19 Nov.
Southern Australian Regions:
Disturbed Periods: 26 Oct- 27 Oct, 8-12 Nov.
Best Quiet Periods: 29 Oct to 07 Nov, 13-14 Nov, 17-19 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.
