SUMMARY FOR 14 NOVEMBER AND FORECAST FOR 15 NOVEMBER - 17 NOVEMBER
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:** YELLOW **   MAG:GREEN     ION: GREEN

1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 14 Nov:  Low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 14 Nov: 161/115


1B. SOLAR FORECAST
             15 Nov             16 Nov             17 Nov
Activity     Moderate           Moderate           Moderate
Fadeouts     Possible           Possible           Possible
10.7cm/SSN   165/119            165/119            170/124

COMMENT: Solar activity remained low during the last 24 hours. 
Today's largest flare was a C5.4 event from region 2209(S15E56) 
at 0748UT. Solar wind speed showed a gradual increase from around 
450 km/s to 550 km/s during the UT day today. The Bz component 
of IMF mostly stayed close to the normal value showing variations 
between +/-7 nT at times during this period. Solar activity is 
expected to stay at moderate levels with the possibility of up 
to X class activity during the next three days. Solar wind stream 
may gain strength from late on 15 November or early 16 November 
due to an expected effect of a high speed solar wind stream from 
a coronal hole.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 14 Nov : 
      Darwin              77   (Active)
      Townsville           0   (Quiet)

      Gingin              19   (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.

15 Nov     8    Quiet to Unsettled
16 Nov    15    Unsettled to Active
17 Nov    12    Unsettled

COMMENT: Geomagnetic activity varied between Quiet and Active 
levels over the last 24 hours. Quiet to Unsettled conditions 
on 15 November, Unsettled to Active on 16 November and mostly 
Unsettled on 17 November may be expected. This rise in the activity 
levels is expected to happen due to the expected effect of a 
high speed solar wind stream from a coronal hole. In the IPS 
magnetometer data for 14 Nov, a weak (11nT) impulse was observed 
at 0550UT.

COMMENT: Periods of minor to mild MUF enhancements were observed 
on low and mid latitudes today. Mostly normal HF conditions may 
be expected for most parts of the UT day 15 November and possibly 
on 17 November. Minor to mild MUF depressions may be expected 
late on 15 November and throughout the day on 16 November due 
to an expected rise in geomagnetic activity during this period. 
Minor MUF depressions on high latitudes are also possible on 
17 November.

COMMENT: Periods of minor to mild MUF enhancements were observed 
on low and mid latitudes today. Mostly normal HF conditions may 
be expected for most parts of the UT day 15 November and possibly 
on 17 November in the Aus/NZ regions. Minor to mild MUF depressions 
may be expected late on 15 November and throughout the day on 
16 November due to an expected rise in geomagnetic activity during 
this period.
