COMMENT: On UT day 02 November, solar activity was moderate with 
one M1.7/1F flare at 0301 UT from AR2891. Currently there are 
6 numbered regions on the visible disc, three that are spot groups. 
The most active regions have been AR 2887 (S27W72, Hax/alpha) 
and AR2891 (N16W07, Dai/beta-gamma). There were two CME events 
on 02 November. AR 2891 produced a halo CME with the M1.7 flare 
and there was a CME from the vicinity of AR2887 due to a filament 
eruption, first observed at 02/1236 UT. Analysis indicates an 
impact from the halo CME. On UT day 02 November, the solar wind 
speed increased from 438 km/s to peak at 645 km/s at 5131 UT. 
The wind speed remains above 600 km/s. The total IMF (BT) peaked 
at 13 nT and the north-south IMF (Bz) component range was +5/-9 
nT. On UT day 03 November, the solar wind speed is expected to 
remain moderately enhanced. On 04 November, impacts from CMEs 
on 31 October to 02 November are expected to moderately disturb 
solar wind parameters into 05 November.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 02 Nov :

      Townsville           0   (Quiet)

      Canberra            37   (Quiet to unsettled)
      Hobart              79   (Active)

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.

03 Nov    13    Quiet to Unsettled. Isolated active period possible.
04 Nov    27    Quiet to Minor Storm
05 Nov    20    Quiet to Active

COMMENT: SWS Geomagnetic Warning 35 was issued on 1 November 
and is current for 4 Nov only. Geomagnetic conditions in the 
Australian region were at quiet to unsettled levels. In the Antarctic 
region quiet to major storm levels were observed. Conditions 
are expected to be mostly quiet to unsettled on 03 November although 
an isolated active period is possible. Geomagnetic activity expected 
to increase on 04 November to active to minor storm levels due 
to coronal mass ejections observed on 31 October-02 November.

COMMENT: HF propagation conditions are expected to be mostly 
normal on UT days 03 November. Mildly degraded conditions are 
expected on 04-05 November for mid to high latitudes due to expected 
geomagnetic activity from recent coronal mass ejections.
