SUMMARY FOR 08 JUNE AND FORECAST FOR 09 JUNE - 11 JUNE
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:GREEN   MAG:GREEN     ION: GREEN
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 08 Jun:  Very low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 08 Jun:  68/2

10.7cm/SSN    69/3               69/3               71/6

COMMENT: Solar activity was Very Low during the UT day, 8 June. 
There are currently no numbered sunspot regions on the visible 
disk. For the next 3 UT days, 9-11 June, solar activity is expected 
to remain at Very Low levels with a slight chance for C-class 
flares. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed during the UT day, 
8 June, in LASCO C2 imagery up to 08/2012 UT. During the last 
24 h, the solar wind speed decreased from 380 km/s to currently 
around 355 km/s. The IMF Bt varied between 1-5 nT. The Bz component 
of IMF varied between +/-5 nT. The outlook for 9-11 June is for 
the solar wind speed to remain at nominal values.

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.

on UT day, 8 June, were mainly at Quiet levels, with an isolated 
Unsettled period in the middle of the UT day in the Southern 
Australian region. Geomagnetic activity is expected to be Quiet 
on the UT days, 9-11 June.
