SUMMARY FOR 05 JULY AND FORECAST FOR 06 JULY - 08 JULY
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:GREEN   MAG:GREEN     ION: GREEN
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 05 Jul:  Low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 05 Jul: 193/145


1B. SOLAR FORECAST
             06 Jul             07 Jul             08 Jul
Activity     Low                Low                Low
Fadeouts     None expected      None expected      None expected
10.7cm/SSN   195/147            190/143            185/138

COMMENT: Solar activity is at low levels with the greatest flare 
over the past 24 hours a C1. Several visible sunspot regions 
remain of significant size and with magnetic complexity however 
activity remains unexpectedly muted. Recent experience suggests 
these conditions will continue and low level of activity will 
persist for the next few days, however there is some chance one 
or more of these regions could begin to produce up to M class 
flares. Solar wind conditions are ambient.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 05 Jul : 
      Darwin               6   (Quiet)
      Townsville           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.
