1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 27 Jun:  Very low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 27 Jun:  69/3

COMMENT: Solar activity was very low on UT day 27 June. There 
are currently no numbered regions on the visible solar disc. 
Very low solar activity is expected for the next three UT days, 
28-30 June. No Earthward directed CMEs were observed in the available 
coronagraph images. During UT day 27 June, the solar wind speed 
was near its background level till 27/1000 UT and from thereon 
increased to mildly elevated level in response to a possible 
small patchy coronal hole effect. The solar wind speed at the 
time of writing this report was near 370 km/s. The total IMF 
(Bt) varied between 2-11 nT and the north-south IMF component 
(Bz) varied between +9/-6 nT. The outlook for today, UT day 28 
June, is for the solar wind speed to vary from background to 
mildly enhanced level as the minor coronal hole effect persists.

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: On UT day 27 June, geomagnetic conditions were quiet 
in the Australian region. Mostly quiet conditions with isolated 
disturbed periods were observed in the Antarctic region. Global 
geomagnetic activity is expected to be mostly quiet for the next 
three UT days, 28-30 June, with a chance of isolated unsettled 
periods due to minor coronal hole effects.

29 Jun     0    Near predicted monthly values
30 Jun     0    Near predicted monthly values

COMMENT: MUFs were near monthly predicted to moderately enhanced 
levels on UT day 27 June. The enhancements were observed mostly 
during local night. Sporadic E and spread F were observed at 
times over some Australian sites. MUFs in the Australian region 
are expected to be mostly near monthly predicted to mildly enhanced 
levels for the next three UT days, 28-30 June.
