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 24 Sep 2017 23:30 UT)
Date Ap Conditions 25 Sep 13 Unsettled to Active 26 Sep 9 Quiet to Unsettled 27 Sep 18 Active COMMENT: SWS Geomagnetic Warning 47 was issued on 22 September and is current for 23-25 Sep. Magnetic conditions were at quiet levels across the Australian region during the UT day, 24 September. Today, 25 September, the magnetic activity is expected to be mostly quiet to unsettled and at times could reach up to active levels. The forecasted disturbed magnetic conditions are in response to moderately elevated solar winds expected to emanate from the small recurrent equatorial coronal hole. Mostly quiet to unsettled conditions are expected for the subsequent day (26 September) as the current coronal hole effects wane. However, from late 27 September or thereabout the magnetic activity is expected to reach active levels associated with another large recurrent polar coronal hole soon reaching geoeffective location on the solar disk.
