SUBJ: IPS DAILY SOLAR AND GEOPHYSICAL REPORT
ISSUED AT 09/2330Z JUNE 2009 BY IPS RADIO AND SPACE SERVICES
FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE
SUMMARY FOR 09 JUNE AND FORECAST FOR 10 JUNE - 12 JUNE
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:GREEN   MAG:GREEN     ION: GREEN
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 09 Jun:  Very low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 09 Jun:  69/3


1B. SOLAR FORECAST
             10 Jun             11 Jun             12 Jun
Activity     Very low           Very low           Very low
Fadeouts     None expected      None expected      None expected
10.7cm/SSN    68/2               68/2               68/2
COMMENT: Solar wind speed at the ACE spacecraft remained low 
merging of the IMF and geomagnetic fields was 10-14UT. The new 
region AR1020 (N22E00) numbered 9th June is a simple beta magnetic 
configuration and unlikely to flare. X-ray activity at the GOES 
spacecraft remains very low. Solar activity is expected to stay 
at very low levels for at least the next 3 days.

Pc3 pulsations are high frequency (10-45 second period) variations 
of the Earths magnetic field. 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 Space Environment Research Center, Japan.

COMMENT: Geomagnetic activity remained at quiet levels today.

of some Unsettled periods in the next 24hrs on 10 June.

4A. AUSTRALIAN REGION IONOSPHERIC SUMMARY


Date   T index
09 Jun     8

Observed Australian Regional MUFs
   Equatorial PNG/Niue Region:
      Mostly near predicted monthly values,
   Northern Australian Region:
      Near predicted monthly values.
   Southern Australian and New Zealand Region:
      Near predicted monthly values during local day,
      Enhanced by 25% during local night.
   Antarctic Region (Casey/Scott Base/Davis/Mawson):
      Near predicted monthly values over the UT day.

Predicted Monthly T index for June:   5

4B. AUSTRALIAN REGION IONOSPHERIC FORECAST
Date   T index  MUFs
10 Jun     5    near predicted monthly values 
11 Jun     5    Near predicted monthly values  
12 Jun     5    Near predicted monthly values 
COMMENT: HF conditions are expected to remain mostly normal across 
Aust/NZ regions for the next three days. Equatorial regions expected 
to remain dynamic but averaging to predicted monthly median MUFs. 
Possibility of some ionospherc disturbance in the Southern regions 
in next 24hrs from possible Unsettled geomagnetic activity, due 
to a recurrent mild solar wind stream.
