G0 conditions observed during the week.



2. FORECAST (08 FEBRUARY - 09 MARCH)
Disturbed Periods: 
No strong recurrent patterns, however mild activity may be experienced on:
 9-10 Feb.

Best Quiet Periods: 
 12-Feb to 4-Mar.

3. FORECAST FOR HIGH RESOLUTION AEROMAGNETIC SURVEYS
Northern Australian Regions: NA

Central Australian Regions: NA

Southern Australian Regions:
 Disturbed Periods: None.
 Best Quiet Periods: 8-Feb to 5-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.

Comment: Whilst 27 day recurrent patterns do not show disturbed intervals 
during this outlook period, there is a large solar region currently on the 
solar disk which may produce CME activity during the week. Please check our
daily reports and warnings for any possible Earth directed CME activity.

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.
