SUBJ: IPS AURORA WATCH
ISSUED AT 2233 UT ON 27 Mar 2015 BY IPS RADIO AND SPACE SERVICES
FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE

A high speed solar wind stream is expected to impact the Earth
sometime within the next 24-48 hours and should remain effective for
several days after arrival. The high speed stream is caused by a solar
feature that has persisted on the Sun for several months and on
previous rotations has produced geomagnetic activity sufficient to
produce Aurora potentially viewable from Tasmania. An alert will be
issued should favourable conditions for producing Aurora be observed.
