1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 10 Nov:  Low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 10 Nov: 179/132

COMMENT: There have been several C class flares over the last 
24 hours. The largest of these flares was a C6.0 flare from region 
1339(N19W33) at 1831UT. Solar activity is expected to be Low 
with a chance of isolated M-class flares for the next 3 days. 
The solar wind speed varied mostly between 340-400 Km/s over 
the UT day. The IMF Bz fluctuated between +/-4nT with some prolonged 
southwards periods in the later half of the UT day. A possible 
glancing blow from the CME activity observed on November 9 may 
elevate the wind speed and density during the later half of November 
11 or early on 12 November.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 10 Nov : 
      Darwin              22   (Quiet to unsettled)
      Townsville           6   (Quiet)
      Learmonth            0   (Quiet)
      Alice Springs        0   (Quiet)
      Gnangara             0   (Quiet)
      Canberra            56   (Unsettled)
      Hobart               0   (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: IPS Geomagnetic Warning 23 was issued on 9 November 
and is current for interval 10-12 November Predominately Quiet 
conditions were observed over the last 24 hours. Unsettled to 
active conditions with storm periods at high latitudes might 
occur from late on 11 November.

      Enhanced by 20% during local night.
   Northern Australian Region:
      Near predicted monthly values during local day.
      Enhanced by 20% during local night.
      Enhanced by 30% after local dawn.
   Southern Australian and New Zealand Region:
      Enhanced by 25% during local day.
      Enhanced by 30% during local night.
      Enhanced by 40% after local dawn.
   Antarctic Region (Casey/Scott Base/Davis/Mawson):
      Enhanced by 20% over the UT day.

Predicted Monthly T index for November:  66

4B. AUSTRALIAN REGION IONOSPHERIC FORECAST
Date   T index  MUFs
11 Nov   120    Near predicted monthly values to 20% enhanced.
12 Nov   100    Near predicted monthly values
13 Nov   100    Near predicted monthly values
COMMENT: Enhanced MUFS observed for Northern AUS/Equatorial and 
Southern AUS/NZ regions over the last 24 hours. Mostly normal 
ionospheric support for Antarctic regions. Conditions in Southern 
AUS/NZ/ Antarctic regions could be disturbed next 3 days due 
to the anticipated geomagnetic activity associated with the CME 
of November 9.
