SUBJ: IPS DAILY SOLAR AND GEOPHYSICAL REPORT
ISSUED AT 2330UT/09 NOVEMBER 2014 BY IPS RADIO AND SPACE SERVICES
FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE
SUMMARY FOR 09 NOVEMBER AND FORECAST FOR 10 NOVEMBER - 12 NOVEMBER
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:** YELLOW **   MAG:** RED **     ION: GREEN

1A. SOLAR SUMMARY

10.7cm/SSN   135/89             145/99             150/105

COMMENT: Solar activity is Moderate with an M2 flare being produced 
by region 2205(N15E18) peaking at 1532UT along with several C 
class flares from the same region. No CME was observed in association 
with the M flare. Solar wind conditions are ambient. ACE EPAM 
data indicates an energetic ion enhancement event beginning 09/2040UT, 
which can be a precursor to increased geomagnetic activity over 
next 24-36 hours. This is most likely due to the partial halo 
CME observed on the 7th of November which is expected to produce 
a glancing blow within the next 24 hours.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 09 Nov : 
      Darwin              69   (Active)
      Townsville           0   (Quiet)

      Gingin              34   (Quiet to unsettled)
      Canberra            26   (Quiet to unsettled)

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.

COMMENT: IPS Geomagnetic Warning 17 was issued on 9 November 
and is current for 10-11 Nov. A glancing blow from a CME is expected 
within the next 24 hours and may cause Active to Minor storm 
conditions.

November and is current for 9-11 Nov. Maximum useable frequencies 
were mostly near predicted monthly values. Some depressed MUFs 
may be experience in southern regions on the 11th of November 
due to geomagnetic disturbance.
