1B. SOLAR FORECAST

10.7cm/SSN   135/89             135/89             135/89

COMMENT: Solar activity was moderate over the last 24 hours with 
an M1.4 flare at 14/1929UT, most likely from the east limb from 
which a CME was observed to erupt shortly thereafter. This CME 
is not Earth-directed. Solar activity is expected to be low to 
moderate for the next 3 days. The solar wind speed mostly varied 
in the range 350-400km/s. The IMF BZ component varied between 
+/-6nT.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 14 Jun : 
      Darwin               4   (Quiet)
      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.

in Northern Australia over the last 24 hours. Otherwise, MUFs 
were near monthly predicted values. MUFs are expected to be near 
to predicted monthly values over the next 3 days, with some mild 
depressions.
