SUBJ: IPS DAILY SOLAR AND GEOPHYSICAL REPORT
ISSUED AT 02/2330Z JUNE 2011 BY IPS RADIO AND SPACE SERVICES
FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE
SUMMARY FOR 02 JUNE AND FORECAST FOR 03 JUNE - 05 JUNE
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:GREEN   MAG:** YELLOW **     ION: GREEN
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 02 Jun:  Low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 02 Jun: 112/63

10.7cm/SSN   112/63             110/60             110/60

COMMENT: Solar activity was Low over the last 24 hours. Region 
1132(N10E61) produced a C1.8 flare. C1.2 and C2.7 flares were 
observed from region 1126(S22E05). Region 1227(S19E17) produced 
C1.4 and C3.7 flares, the latter (at 0746UT) was associated with 
a partial-halo CME expected to be geoeffective on 4 Jun. Further 
C-class events are expected over the next 3 days. Solar wind 
speed decreased gradually over the last 24 hours from ~500km/s 
to ~450km/s. IMF Bz varied from 0 to -5nT until ~18UT and has 
fluctuated between +/-3nT since then. Solar wind speed is expected 
to increase with the onset of a coronal hole on 3 Jun. The solar 
wind parameters will probably be disturbed for the next 3 days 
due to combined coronal hole and CME effects.

      Darwin              17   (Quiet)
      Townsville          NA
      Learmonth            0   (Quiet)

      Canberra            28   (Quiet to unsettled)
      Hobart               9   (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.

COMMENT: Active periods are expected for the next 3 days with 
occasional Storm periods at higher latitudes. A weak CME is expected 
on 3 Jun with stronger CME impacts on 4 and 5 Jun. Coronal hole 
effects are expected for the next 3 days.
