1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 10 Nov:  Low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 10 Nov: 136/90


1B. SOLAR FORECAST
             11 Nov             12 Nov             13 Nov
Activity     Low                Moderate           Moderate

10.7cm/SSN   140/94             165/119            180/133

COMMENT: Solar activity remained low during the last 24 hours. 
Several C-class flares were observed today, most from region 
2205(N14W08). Today's largest flare was a C7 event from 2205 
at 0222UT. Solar wind speed increased from around 420 km/s to 
over 500 km/s during the first 2 hours of the UT day today and 
then stayed around 500 km/s during the rest of the day. The Bz 
component of IMF went up to around +20 nT around 0200 UT, stayed 
positive until mid day and then varied between +/-8 nT during 
the rest of the day. Solar activity is expected to stay at low 
levels with a chance of M class activity on 11 November and at 
moderate levels for the following two days thereafter.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 10 Nov : 
      Darwin              78   (Active)
      Townsville           0   (Quiet)

      Canberra            12   (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.

recorded at high latitudes. Geomagnetic activity may stay at 
Unsettled to Active levels on 11 November and gradually decline 
to Unsettled and then to Quiet levels during the following two 
days thereafter.
