1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 09 Sep:  Very low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 09 Sep: 100/48

COMMENT: Solar activity was low on UT day 09 September- only 
one C-class flare was observed. This flare peaked at 09/0830 
UT and was from AR2866. There are currently six numbered regions 
on the visible disk. Solar activity is expected to be at low 
levels on UT days 10 to 12 September with a chance of more C-class 
flares and remote chance of isolated M-class flares. No Earth-directed 
CMEs were observed in the available coronagraph imagery over 
the past 24 hours. The CME that was triggered by the C2.3 flare 
(08/0010 UT) is expected to cause a glancing blow at earth on 
late UT day 11 September. On UT day 09 September, the solar wind 
speed varied in the range 340 to 440 km/s, the total IMF (Bt) 
and the north-south component (Bz) ranges were 1 to 4 nT and 
+1/-2 nT, respectively. The solar wind speed is expected to stay 
mostly at background levels today (10 September) with a small 
possibility of minor enhancements due to a possible connection 
with a coronal hole in the south-west region. Further enhancements 
in the solar wind parameters may be possible during the second 
half of the UT day 11 September due to the possible arrival of 
the 08 September CME.

      Hobart               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.

10 Sep     7    Quiet
11 Sep    15    Unsettled to Active
12 Sep    15    Unsettled to Active

COMMENT: On UT day 09 September, the geomagnetic conditions in 
the Australian region was at quiet levels. Quiet to unsettled 
conditions were observed in the Antarctic region. Today, UT day 
10 September, global geomagnetic conditions are expected to be 
mostly quiet with possible isolated unsettled periods due to 
the coronal hole effects. There is some possibility of geomagnetic 
activity rising to active levels on 11 and 12 September due to 
a possible weak impact from the 08 September CME.
