FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE
SUMMARY FOR 25 OCTOBER AND FORECAST FOR 26 OCTOBER - 28 OCTOBER
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:GREEN   MAG:GREEN     ION: GREEN
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 25 Oct:  Low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 25 Oct: 106/55


1B. SOLAR FORECAST
             26 Oct             27 Oct             28 Oct
Activity     Low                Low                Low

10.7cm/SSN   105/54             105/54             105/54

COMMENT: Minor flaring was noted from active region 2434(West 
Limb) during the UT day, 25 Oct. All active regions on the visible 
solar disk, including the largest region 2436(N09W32)remain stable 
during the period. Expect Low solar activity next three days 
with a slight chance of an isolated M-class event. No Earth-directed 
CMEs were observed. Solar wind speeds ranged between 420-550Km/s 
and are presently above 500 km/s. The IMF Bz component was mostly 
northward. Mildly elevated solar wind speeds are expected to 
persist today 26 Oct.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 25 Oct : 
      Darwin               0   (Quiet)
      Townsville           0   (Quiet)

      Canberra            31   (Quiet to unsettled)
      Melbourne           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.
