1A. SOLAR SUMMARY

COMMENT: Solar activity has been at moderate levels during the 
last 24 hours. Four C-class and one M1 flares were observed during 
this period. All these flares came from region 2080 (S12E18). 
The largest event of the day, the M1 flare, peaked at 1931UT. 
Solar wind speed mostly stayed around 350 km/s during the UT 
day today. The Bz component of IMF mostly varied between +/-5 
nT during this day. Minor coronal hole effects may keep the solar 
wind stream slightly enhanced for the next two days. Low levels 
of solar activity with the possibility of M-class activity may 
be expected during the next three days. ACE EPAM data indicates 
an energetic ion enhancement event beginning 06/2010UT, which 
can be a precursor to increased geomagnetic activity over next 
24-36 hours.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 06 Jun : 
      Darwin              34   (Quiet to unsettled)
      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.

the next two days (7 and 8 June). Conditions may decline to mostly 
quiet levels on the third day (9 June).
