COMMENT: Solar activity was very low over the last 24 hours. 
No Earth-directed CMEs were observed. Solar activity is expected 
to be very low for the next 3 days. The solar wind speed peaked 
around 480 km/s, currently around 440 km/s. The IMF total strength 
peaked around 6 nT, currently 5 nT. The Bz component varied from 
-4 to +5 nT.

      Townsville           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.
