1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 01 Jul:  Very low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 01 Jul:  71/6

             02 Jul             03 Jul             04 Jul
Activity     Very low           Very low           Very low to low

10.7cm/SSN    70/5               70/5               70/5

COMMENT: Solar activity was Very Low over the last 24 hours. 
No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in the available LASCO imagery. 
Region 2664 (N18W70) is currently the only region on the visible 
disc and remains stable and quiet. The solar wind speed ranged 
between 336km/s and 396km/s between 00UT and 16UT. At 1628UT 
a small shock was observed in the solar wind parameters with 
step increases to solar wind speed, density and temperature. 
Solar wind speed is currently ranging between 380km/s and 440km/s. 
The Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field reached 
a maximum of -9.1nT at 0926UT after notable sustained southward 
excursions between 02UT-07UT and 12UT and 14UT of approx -6nT. 
The source of the shock in the solar wind is yet to be determined 
as from the estimated velocity (and arrival time) of the slow 
moving partial halo from 28Jun was expected to arrive late in 
the UT day 02Jul. Btotal has ranged between 11nT and 19nT since 
the shock was detected but with no southward Bz component so 
far. A further increase in solar wind velocity is possible over 
the next 24-48 hours. Very Low solar activity is expected for 
the next 3 days with a small 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. Quiet 
conditions expected for the beginning of the UT day 02Jul with 
possible Active to Minor Storm periods due to CME effects. Possible 
Active periods 03Jul with otherwise Quiet to Unsettled conditions. 
Quiet to Unsettled conditions for 04Jul.

COMMENT: Observed MUF's were mostly near predicted monthly values 
over the last 24 hours with some depressed MUFs for low latitudes. 
Depressed MUFs likely for for mid latitudes and disturbed ionospheric 
support for high latitudes over the next 3 days due to increased 
geomagnetic activity 02Jul-03Jul.
