2. FORECAST (27 FEBRUARY - 28 MARCH)
Disturbed Periods:
No strong recurrent patterns, however mild activity may be experienced on:
28 Feb, 4-5 Mar, 16-17 Mar, 19-20 Mar.
Best Quiet Periods:
1-3 Mar, 6-14 Mar, 18 Mar, 21-23 Mar, 25-28 Mar.
3. FORECAST FOR HIGH RESOLUTION AEROMAGNETIC SURVEYS
Northern Australian Regions:
Best Quiet Periods: 27 Feb-28 Mar.
Central Australian Regions:
Best Quiet Periods: 27 Feb-4 Mar, 07-28 Mar.
Mildly Disturbed Periods: 5-6 Mar.
Southern Australian Regions:
Best Quiet Periods: 27 Feb-4 Mar, 7-28 Mar.
Disturbed Periods: 5-6 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.
