STATUS INDICATORS SOL:GREEN   MAG:GREEN     ION: GREEN
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 06 Jun:  Very low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 06 Jun: 109/59


1B. SOLAR FORECAST
             07 Jun             08 Jun             09 Jun

10.7cm/SSN   110/60             105/54             105/54

COMMENT: Solar activity has been very low with no C class or 
greater X-ray flares. The solar wind speed has stabilised around 
500 km/s. The total strength of the IMF has been increasing, 
currently at almost 15nT. The Bz component turned strongly southward 
around 17UT and remains at less than -10 nT. Solar activity is 
expected to remain low for the next 3 days.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 06 Jun : 
      Darwin               2   (Quiet)
      Townsville           0   (Quiet)

      Gingin               4   (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.

2B. MAGNETIC FORECAST 
Date      Ap    Conditions
07 Jun    15    Unsettled to Active
08 Jun    15    Unsettled to Active
09 Jun    15    Unsettled to Active

COMMENT: Magnetic activity has been Unsettled with Active periods. 
This activity is due to sustained southward orientation of the 
interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). Further Active periods are 
possible over the next 24 hours if the IMF remains southward. 
In addition, a CME impact is expected on the 7th of June which 
may also cause Active conditions. Further CME activity may be 
experienced on the 8th and 9th. Expect Unsettled to Active conditions 
over the next 3 days.
