SUBJ: IPS DAILY SOLAR AND GEOPHYSICAL REPORT
ISSUED AT 2330UT/08 JUNE 2015 BY IPS RADIO AND SPACE SERVICES
FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE
SUMMARY FOR 08 JUNE AND FORECAST FOR 09 JUNE - 11 JUNE
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:GREEN   MAG:** RED **     ION: GREEN
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 08 Jun:  Very low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 08 Jun: 134/88


1B. SOLAR FORECAST
             09 Jun             10 Jun             11 Jun
Activity     Very low to low    Very low to low    Very low to low
Fadeouts     None expected      None expected      None expected
10.7cm/SSN   135/89             135/89             135/89

COMMENT: Solar activity remained Very Low over the last 24 hours 
and is expected to remain Very Low to Low with a slight chance 
of Moderate activity over the next three days. The solar wind 
speed is currently just over 600km/s due to a negative polarity 
coronal hole, the Bz component of the IMF reached -21nT at 08/0505UT. 
Expect the solar wind to increase to near 800 km/s due to a trailing 
coronal hole later in the UT day, 09 June. ACE EPAM data indicates 
an energetic ion enhancement event beginning 08/0935UT, which 
can be a precursor to increased geomagnetic activity over next 
24-36 hours. On 10-11 June expect the solar wind to gradually 
decrease to nominal levels.

      Davis               44   34443647

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 08 Jun : 
      Darwin               0   (Quiet)
      Townsville           0   (Quiet)

      Canberra             7   (Quiet)
      Melbourne           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.

Date      Ap    Conditions
09 Jun    25    Active
10 Jun     8    Quiet to Unsettled

COMMENT: Expect geomagnetic activity to be Unsettled to Active 
today, 09 June, with periods of Minor Storm levels at higher 
latitudes. On 10-11 June expect conditions to gradually return 
to Unsettled to Quiet levels as the coronal holes rotate out 
of their geoeffective influence.

to geomagnetic storm activity for the next two days returning 
to near predicted values on 11 June.
