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 22 Jan 2019 23:30 UT)
Date Ap Conditions 23 Jan 15 Unsettled to Active 24 Jan 8 Quiet to Unsettled 25 Jan 8 Quiet to Unsettled COMMENT: SWS Geomagnetic Warning 1 was issued on 20 January and is current for 23 Jan only. Quiet geomagnetic conditions were observed in the Australian region on UT day 22 January. Quiet to Unsettled conditions were observed in the Antarctic regions. Geomagnetic activity is expected to increase to Unsettled to Active levels today (UT day 23 January) in response to the effects of the CIR and subsequent HSS associated with a recurrent coronal hole. Isolated minor storms are also possible on today. UT days 24 and 25 January is expected to be mainly Quiet to Unsettled as the coronal hole effects wane.
