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 International Center for Space Weather Science and Education, Japan.

Geomagnetic Forecast
(last updated 19 Mar 2019 23:30 UT)
Date Ap Conditions 20 Mar 8 Quiet to Unsettled 21 Mar 6 Quiet 22 Mar 6 Quiet COMMENT: Quiet conditions were observed across the Australian region on 19 March and mostly Quiet to Unsettled conditions were in Antarctica. For 20 March, the global geomagnetic activity is expected to be at Quiet to Unsettled levels with possible isolated Active periods. The predicted increase in the geomagnetic activity is due to the high speed solar wind stream from the recurrent equatorial coronal hole. Then the global geomagnetic activity is expected to return to mostly Quiet levels as the coronal hole effects wane.
