SUBJ: IPS DAILY SOLAR AND GEOPHYSICAL REPORT
ISSUED AT 2330UT/09 JUNE 2012 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:*YELLOW*   MAG:*YELLOW*   ION: GREEN

  M1.8    1653UT  possible   lower  South American/
                                    Atlantic

10.7cm/SSN   130/84             130/84             130/84

COMMENT: Two impulsive M1-flares were observed from region 1499 
during 9 June. There is the small chance of further isolated 
low level M-class flares during 10 June. Solar wind speeds continued 
to decline during 9 June and are presently between 400-450 km/s. 
Solar wind speeds may become mildly elevated over the next few 
days with the possibility of anticipated glancing CME impacts 
and a coronal hole wind stream.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 09 Jun : 
      Darwin               6   (Quiet)
      Townsville           0   (Quiet)
      Learmonth            0   (Quiet)
      Alice Springs        0   (Quiet)
      Gnangara            25   (Quiet to unsettled)
      Canberra             2   (Quiet)
      Hobart               7   (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.
