COMMENT: Solar activity reached High levels during 1 November 
due to an M6-flare from region 1884 otherwise solar activity 
was mostly Low. Solar activity is expected to be predominantly 
Low for 2 November with the chance of isolated M-flares. Solar 
wind speeds have been predominantly below 400 km/s during 1 November 
and are expected to continue at low levels for the next few days.

      Davis               13   34342221

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 01 Nov : 
      Darwin               0   (Quiet)
      Townsville           0   (Quiet)
      Learmonth            0   (Quiet)
      Alice Springs        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.
