SUBJ: IPS DAILY SOLAR AND GEOPHYSICAL REPORT
ISSUED AT 2330UT/19 JUNE 2014 BY IPS RADIO AND SPACE SERVICES
FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE
SUMMARY FOR 19 JUNE AND FORECAST FOR 20 JUNE - 22 JUNE
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:GREEN   MAG:GREEN     ION: ** YELLOW **
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 19 Jun:  Low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 19 Jun: 111/62


1B. SOLAR FORECAST
             20 Jun             21 Jun             22 Jun

10.7cm/SSN   105/54             105/54             105/54

COMMENT: Regions 12093 (S10 E19) and 12095 (N06 W83) were the 
only regions to produce C flares. Region 12093 showed growth, 
12087 (S19 W49) decayed, while other regions appear stable. SDO/GONG 
images show a filament eruption beginning ~1539 UT and adjacent 
to 12093 which flared at 1924 UT. A CME was associated with this 
activity and is expected to impact Earth late 22 to 23 June. 
ACE data show the solar wind settling with wind speed decreasing 
to 410 km/s. The northsouth IMF fluctuations decreased from +9 
to -7 nT, to nominal levels.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 19 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.

including the southern hemisphere.

      Darwin 20-45% 00, 10-16 UT with night spread
      F. Depressed at Townsville 20-30% 00, 10-14 UT.
   Southern Australian and New Zealand Region:
      Near predicted monthly values to 15% depressed.
      Spread F at Hobart 08-23 UT. Occasional night
      spread F at Brisbane and Norfolk Is.
   Antarctic Region (Casey/Scott Base/Davis/Mawson):
      Mostly 10-30% depressed.

4B. AUSTRALIAN REGION IONOSPHERIC FORECAST
Date   T index  MUFs
20 Jun    70    Near predicted monthly values to 20% depressed
21 Jun    70    Near predicted monthly values to 20% depressed
22 Jun    70    Near predicted monthly values to 20% depressed

COMMENT: Lower than expected solar flux is likely to reduce MUFs 
below those based on the monthly T index, particularly on circuits 
including the southern hemisphere. Night communications may be 
degraded.
