Flares: none.

COMMENT: Solar activity on UT day 10-Jul was at the R0 level 
with low level C-class flaring. There are currently six numbered 
sunspot groups visible on the solar disk. AR3053 (N13E10, beta) 
and AR3055 (S16E20, beta) are the largest sunspot regions, AR3055 
showed spot development over the 24 hour period, whilst AR3053 
showed some decay in its trailer spots. A new region AR3056 (S19E69, 
beta) has appeared on the solar disk. All other regions are stable 
or in decay. AR3051 (N23W51, alpha) and AR3056 were responsible 
for the majority of the flaring over the 24 hour period. A new 
unnumbered region has recently rotated onto the solar disk at 
N15E75. Solar activity is expected to be at R0-R1 levels over 
11-13 Jul. Several CMEs were observed but none are considered 
to be geoeffective. An erupting prominence is visible on SDO 
and H-Alpha imagery from 10/1706UT at around S50 on the western 
limb. An associated southwest CME is visible in STEREO-A and 
LASCO C2 imagery from 10/1812UT. Modelling indicates that it 
is not geoeffective. There are several large filaments currently 
on the solar disk. One is roughly 40 degrees long and stretches 
from S48E16 to S27W20 and will continue to be in 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 10-Jul ranged 
between 346-417 km/s and is currently near 340 km/s. The peak 
total interplanetary field strength (IMF, Bt) was 11 nT and the 
north-south IMF component (Bz) range was +7 to -8 nT. Bz was 
intermittently southward between 0721-1421UT. The solar wind 
speed is expected to increase over 11-13 Jul due to the onset 
of an equatorial coronal hole high speed wind stream. There is 
a slight chance for an increase in the solar wind speed from 
late on UT day 11-Jul due a possible weak impact from a CME first 
observed on 08-Jul.

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.

11 Jul    10    G0
12 Jul    14    G0

COMMENT: G0 geomagnetic conditions were observed in both the 
Australian and Antarctic regions over UT day 10-Jul. G0 geomagnetic 
conditions are expected over 11-13 Jul. Geomagnetic activity 
is expected to increase from 12-Jul due to the onset of an equatorial 
coronal hole high speed wind stream. 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.

values, with mild depressions observed in northern Australian 
regions during local nighttime hours. Spread-F was observed at 
Hobart during local nighttime hours. MUFs are expected to be 
near predicted monthly values over 11-13 Jul, with degraded conditions 
possible for the northern Australian region during local night 
hours. Shortwave fadeouts are possible.
