1A. SOLAR SUMMARY

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 08 Nov:  77/16


1B. SOLAR FORECAST
             09 Nov             10 Nov             11 Nov

10.7cm/SSN    75/13              75/13              75/13

COMMENT: Solar activity was Very Low over the last 24 hours. 
The solar wind speed declined from 312km/s at 00UT to 275km/s 
at 16UT and is currently 286km/s at the time of this report. 
The Bz component of the IMF has ranged between +/-5nT over the 
UT day, with a notable sustained southward period between 07UT-11UT. 
Solar wind speed is expected to gradually increase over the next 
24-48 hours due to the influence of a high speed solar wind stream 
from a southern hemisphere located negative polarity coronal 
hole. There is also still a chance in the next 12 hours of a 
CME glancing blow from the filament that lifted off towards the 
northwest quadrant on 05Nov. Solar activity is expected to remain 
Very Low for the next three days little chance of C-class flares.

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: Quiet conditions observed over the last 24 hours. On 
09Nov the solar wind speed is expected to gradually increase 
due to the onset of a high speed solar wind stream from a southern 
hemisphere located negative polarity coronal hole resulting in 
Active to Minor Storm periods for 09Nov-10Nov with Unsettled 
conditions expected for 11Nov.

COMMENT: Variable MUFs were observed over the last 24 hours ranging 
from brief enhancements at high and mid latitudes to sustained 
depressions for mid to low latitudes. An expected increase in 
geomagnetic activity is forecast for 09Nov-10Nov due to coronal 
hole effects resulting in periods of depressed MUFs for mid latitudes 
and disturbed conditions for high latitudes for the next 3 days.

4B. AUSTRALIAN REGION IONOSPHERIC FORECAST
Date   T index  MUFs
09 Nov     0    Depressed 15%/near predicted monthly values
10 Nov   -15    20 to 30% below predicted monthly values
11 Nov   -10    15 to 20% below predicted monthly values

COMMENT: SWS Preliminary HF Communications Warning 52 was issued 
on 6 November and is current for 8-9 Nov. Observed MUF's were 
at predicted monthly values over the last 24 hours for Southern 
AUS/NZ and Antarctic regions, with notable depressed periods 
for Northern AUS/Equatorial regions. An expected increase in 
geomagnetic activity over 09Nov-10Nov due to coronal hole effects 
is expected to result in MUF depressions of ~20% for Northern 
AUS and Southern AUS/NZ regions, possible periods of enhanced 
MUFs for low latitude stations and disturbed ionospheric support 
for Antarctic regions over the next 3 days.
