10.7cm/SSN   115/66             115/66             110/60

COMMENT: A number of C-class flares from AR 12085 (S15 W87), 
12087 (S19 W06) and 12089 (N18 W51). A CME was associated with 
the M1 flare from AR 12087 but with most of the material directed 
southwest, it is unlikely to be geoeffective. ACE data show the 
solar wind was at nominal levels. There is a small coronal hole 
located about 20 degrees west.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 16 Jun : 
      Darwin               4   (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.
