SUBJ: IPS DAILY SOLAR AND GEOPHYSICAL REPORT

FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE
SUMMARY FOR 25 JUNE AND FORECAST FOR 26 JUNE - 28 JUNE
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:GREEN   MAG:GREEN     ION: ** RED **
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 25 Jun:  Very low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 25 Jun:  97/44


1B. SOLAR FORECAST
             26 Jun             27 Jun             28 Jun
Activity     Very low to low    Very low to low    Very low to low
Fadeouts     None expected      None expected      None expected
10.7cm/SSN   100/48             105/54             110/60

COMMENT: Minor flaring occurred from active region 2096(N10E36). 
All regions are mostly stable. Expect solar activity to be Very 
Low to Low over the next three days. SDO images show a filament 
eruption which began ~0700UT in the northeast quadrant while 
available SOHO and STEREO images show a CME ~0912UT which is 
likely associated with the filament event. This CME is not likely 
to be geoeffective. ACE data show the solar wind speed 300-350 
km/s with slightly disturbed conditions in north south IMF range 
+/-5nT mostly south. Expect the solar wind to remain light over 
the next 24 hours.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 25 Jun : 
      Darwin              12   (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.

are expected to remain mostly Quiet during 26 June. No fast solar 
wind or CME is currently expected to arrive within the next 24 
hours.

      Depressed by 30% during local night.     
   Niue Island Region:
      Depressed by 20% during local day.
      Depressed by 20% during local night.
   Northern Australian Region:
      Depressed by 30% during local day.
      Depressed by 45% during local night.
   Southern Australian and New Zealand Region:
      Depressed by 25% during local day.
      Depressed by 20% during local night.

4B. AUSTRALIAN REGION IONOSPHERIC FORECAST
Date   T index  MUFs
26 Jun    50    20 to 30% below predicted monthly values
27 Jun    50    20 to 30% below predicted monthly values
28 Jun    50    20 to 30% below predicted monthly values

COMMENT: Variable depressions to 45% observed in the Australian 
region due to declining EUV levels related to a low number of 
active regions on the Sun. Night spread F observed, Sporadic 
E layers have also been present. MUFs are expected to remain 
lower than predicted over the next 3 days due to this decrease 
in EUV.
