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 21 Oct 2017 23:30 UT)
Date Ap Conditions 22 Oct 8 Quiet to Unsettled 23 Oct 4 Quiet 24 Oct 30 Active to Minor Storm COMMENT: The magnetic field over Australia was mostly at Quiet levels with isolated periods of Unsettled levels during the UT day, 21 October. The Antarctic region was at Quiet to Unsettled levels with isolated periods of Active conditions. Expect Quiet to Unsettled conditions to prevail for the next two days and Unsettled to Active conditions with isolated periods of Minor Storm levels on 24 October due to the recurrent coronal hole becoming geoeffective. In the SWS magnetometer data at 21/0611UT a weak (8nT) impulse was observed.
