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.
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 Space Environment Research Center, Japan.

Observed Australian Regional MUFs
Equatorial PNG/Niue Region:
Depressed by 25% during local day,
Depressed by 35% during local night.
Northern Australian Region:
Depressed by 30% during local day,
Depressed by 20% during local night.
Depressed by 20% after local dawn.
Southern Australian and New Zealand Region:
Depressed by 15% during local day,
Depressed by 25% during local night.
Antarctic Region (Casey/Scott Base/Davis/Mawson):
Near predicted monthly values over the UT day.
Predicted Monthly T index for November: 3
4B. AUSTRALIAN REGION IONOSPHERIC FORECAST
Date T index MUFs
20 Nov -30 near predicted monthly values/depressed 10 to
30%
21 Nov -30 near predicted monthly values/depressed 10 to
30%
22 Nov -30 near predicted monthly values/depressed 10 to
30%
COMMENT: IPS HF Communications Warning 15 was issued on 18 November
and is current for interval 18-20 November. Depressed conditions
expected for equatorial and north Australian regions, probable
cause is very low solar activity.
