SUMMARY FOR 27 JUNE AND FORECAST FOR 28 JUNE - 30 JUNE
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:GREEN   MAG:** YELLOW **     ION: GREEN
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 27 Jun:  Low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 27 Jun: 100/48

10.7cm/SSN   100/48             105/54             110/60

COMMENT: Only two, low, C-class flares from region 1778 (S17 
E11). SDO images show a filament lift-off, at ~1945 UT, in the 
vicinity of region 1777 (S17 W22). STEREO A images just show 
the beginnings of a CME which is probably associated with the 
disappearing filament. ACE data show the solar wind undisturbed 
until a weak shock at 1351 UT. Thereafter, the IMF north-south 
component ranged between +/-7 nT, tending southward, with the 
wind speed range 470 to 420 km/s. This disturbance is likely 
to be the impact from the 23 Jun CME. A coronal hole wind stream 
should begin to affect the solar wind 28 Jun.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 27 Jun : 
      Darwin               2   (Quiet)
      Townsville           0   (Quiet)

      Gingin               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.
