10.7cm/SSN   145/99             140/94             135/89

COMMENT: Solar activity has been moderate due to an M5-flare 
from region 1884. Further C-class and possible M-class flares 
are expected from solar regions 1884 and 1890. No earth directed 
CMEs were observed during 3 November. Solar wind speeds have 
been predominantly below 400 km/s during 3 November and are expected 
to remain around these low levels for the next few days.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 03 Nov : 
      Darwin               2   (Quiet)
      Townsville           0   (Quiet)
      Learmonth            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.
