COMMENT: Solar activity on UT day 09-Jul was at the R0 level. 
There are currently five numbered sunspot groups visible on the 
solar disk. AR3053 (N13E23, beta) and AR3055 (S16E33, beta) are 
the largest sunspot regions and both showed spot development 
over the 24 hour period. AR3051 (N23W38, beta) is unstable. All 
other regions are stable. Solar activity is expected to be at 
R0-R1 levels over 10-12 Jul. Two CMEs were observed but neither 
are considered to be geoeffective. An eruption on the solar limb 
around S20 at 09/1337UT, visible in SDO, GOES SUVI, and H-alpha 
imagery, produced a CME first observed at 09/1400UT in LASCO 
C2 and STEREO-A imagery. This is associated with a C8.5 flare 
from AR3047 (S20W86), which was the strongest flare during the 
24 period. Enlil modelling indicates that this CME is not geoeffective. 
A northwest-directed CME was observed from 09/1536UT in LASCO 
C2 and STEREO-A imagery. This is considered to be a far side 
event, and is not considered to be geoeffective. Model runs of 
a previous CME first observed from 08/2123UT associated with 
an M2.5 flare indicate that there is a slight chance of a glancing 
blow to Earth. with a possible weak impact from late on UT day 
11-Jul. There are several large filaments currently on the solar 
disk. There are two in the southwest quadrant that will move 
to a geoeffective location over the coming days, to be monitored 
for potential eruptions. An equatorial coronal hole is currently 
crossing the central meridian, and is expected to influence the 
solar wind speed in the coming days. The solar wind speed on 
09-Jul ranged between 319-413 km/s and is currently near 380 
km/s and is trending upwards. The peak total interplanetary field 
strength (IMF, Bt) was 8 nT and the north-south IMF component 
(Bz) range was +8 to -5 nT. The solar wind speed is expected 
to continue an upward trend over 10-12 Jul. An increase due to 
equatorial coronal effects is expected towards the end of the 
period.

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: G0 geomagnetic conditions were observed in both the 
Australian and Antarctic regions over UT day 09-Jul. G0 geomagnetic 
conditions are expected over 10-12 Jul. There is a slight chance 
of mildly disturbed geomagnetic conditions from late on UT day 
11-Jul due a possible weak impact from a CME first observed on 
08-Jul.
