with the C3-flare at 2246UT on 1 June. Solar activity is expected 
to be at predominantly Low levels with the small chance of isolated 
M-class flare activity.

2A. MAGNETIC SUMMARY

Geomagnetic field for Australian Region 01 Jun: Quiet

      Casey                3   12122010
      Mawson               7   33122210

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 01 Jun : 
      Darwin               0   (Quiet)
      Townsville           0   (Quiet)
      Learmonth            0   (Quiet)
      Alice Springs        0   (Quiet)
      Gnangara            25   (Quiet to unsettled)
      Canberra             7   (Quiet)
      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.

2B. MAGNETIC FORECAST 
Date      Ap    Conditions
02 Jun     4    Quiet
03 Jun    10    Initially Quiet with isolated Unsettled to Active 
                levels possible later in UT day.
04 Jun    15    Mostly Quiet to Unsettled with the chance of 
                isolated Active levels.

COMMENT: Isolated Unsettled to Active levels are possible during 
3-4 June with the anticipated arrival of a coronal hole solar 
wind stream.
