G0 conditions observed during the week. Possible indistinct very weak
CME arrivals 27-28 Jan.

2. FORECAST (30 JANUARY - 01 MARCH)
Disturbed Periods: 
1-3 Feb.

Best Quiet Periods: 
30-Jan, 7-10 Feb, 14 Feb, 17-Feb, 20-23 Feb.

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

Central Australian Regions: NA

Southern Australian Regions:
 Disturbed Periods: 01-03 Feb, 13-14 Feb, 16-17 Feb.
 Best Quiet Periods: 7-8 Feb, 19-25 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.
