COMMENT: All regions are stable or declining. Two new regions, 
12032 (N13 E71) an Eso group and unnumbered region at S03 E25 
a Bxo group. Two CMEs, first observed ~0100 and 1125 UT; neither 
appear Earth directed. ACE data show the north-south IMF ranging 
+/-5 nT, with the wind speed 360-480 km/s. A low probability 
of greater than C-class flares occurring over the forecast period.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 08 Apr : 
      Darwin               8   (Quiet)
      Townsville           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.
