SUBJ: IPS DAILY SOLAR AND GEOPHYSICAL REPORT
ISSUED AT 2330UT/09 NOVEMBER 2012 BY IPS RADIO AND SPACE SERVICES
FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE
SUMMARY FOR 09 NOVEMBER AND FORECAST FOR 10 NOVEMBER - 12 NOVEMBER
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:GREEN   MAG:GREEN     ION: GREEN
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 09 Nov:  Low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 09 Nov: 115/66


1B. SOLAR FORECAST
             10 Nov             11 Nov             12 Nov
Activity     Low                Low                Low
Fadeouts     None expected      None expected      None expected
10.7cm/SSN   120/72             125/78             130/84

COMMENT: Solar activity was low over the last 24 hours, with 
the largest event being a C1 flare at 09/0151. A CME, which occurred 
around this time, and a later CME, first observed in STEREO-A 
imagery at 09/1454 are still being analysed, but the latter appears 
likely to be geoeffective. Active region 1610 (S24E36) grew in 
area. Solar activity is expected to remain low for the next 3 
days. The solar wind speed declined from ~400km/s to ~330km/s, 
while the IMF Bz component was mostly neutral.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 09 Nov : 
      Darwin               0   (Quiet)
      Townsville           0   (Quiet)
      Learmonth            0   (Quiet)

      Gnangara             0   (Quiet)
      Canberra             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 International Center for Space Weather 
Science and Education, Japan.
