1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 10 Apr:  R0

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 10 Apr: 101/49

COMMENT: On UT day 10 Apr, solar activity was at R0 level, with 
a C4.9 flare from region 2978 on the west limb. There is currently 
one numbered region on the visible disk. Solar activity is expected 
to be at R0 level on 11-13 Apr. On UT day 10 Apr, the solar wind 
parameters were disturbed due to combined effects of weak CME 
and coronal hole HSS. Solar wind speed increased gradually to 
520 Km/s. The total interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) peaked 
at 19 nT and the IMF north-south component (Bz) varied between 
+/-15 nT with a prolonged southward period between 10/0200-0900UT. 
Solar wind conditions are expected to be enhanced on 11-13 Apr 
due to coronal hole effects and mild CME impacts.

      Canberra            11   (Quiet)
      Hobart              34   (Quiet to unsettled)

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: SWS Geomagnetic Warning 20 was issued on 10 April and 
is current for 10-11 Apr. G1 geomagnetic conditions were observed 
in the Australian region on UT day 10 Apr. G2 levels were observed 
in Antarctica. G0 with possible G1 conditions expected on 11-13 
Apr due to coronal hole effects and possible weak CME impacts.

COMMENT: Maximum usable frequencies (MUFs) on UT day 10 Apr were 
near monthly predicted values to slightly enhanced. Mild to moderate 
MUF degradations may be observed at high to mid latitude regions 
on 11-12 Apr due increased geomagnetic activity.
