1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 12 Nov:  Low

Flares: none.

COMMENT: Region 1123 (S22W10) produced a number of C-class events, 
largest a C4.6. M-class events are possible. STEREO A and B images 
show three CMEs from the southern hemisphere which are expected 
to be geo-effective in around five days. Solar wind parameters 
quietened through the period although speed remained moderate 
around 500 km/s. Solar wind parameters are expected to be disturbed 
over the forecast period due to the effects of CME events and 
an equatorial coronal hole.

2A. MAGNETIC SUMMARY

Geomagnetic field for Australian Region 12 Nov: Quiet to unsettled
with isolated active levels at higher latitudes.

      Townsville           0   (Quiet)

      Canberra             3   (Quiet)
      Hobart               6   (Quiet)
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.
