COMMENT: Solar activity on UT day 24-Jul was at the R0 level, 
with several C-class flares. There are currently six numbered 
sunspot regions on the solar disk. AR3060 (N14W48, alpha), AR3064 
(N11W20, beta) have shown spot growth. All other regions are 
either stable or in decay. Solar activity is expected to be at 
the R0 level over 25-27 Jul. Several CMEs were observed but none 
are considered to be geoeffective. A filament eruption was observed 
in the southeast quadrant of the solar disk visible in SDO and 
H-alpha imagery from 24/1849UT and will be monitored for any 
subsequent CME. Analysis of two CMEs observed on UT day 23-Jul, 
a farside halo CME and a southwest CME, concluded that there 
are no Earth-directed components. The solar wind speed on 24-Jul 
was elevated due to ongoing coronal hole high speed wind stream 
effects, and ranged from 572 to 486 km/s and is currently near 
490 km/s with a declining trend. The peak total interplanetary 
field strength (IMF, Bt) was 6 nT and the north-south IMF component 
(Bz) range was +5 to -4 nT. The solar wind speed is expected 
to continue to decline to near background levels over 25-27 Jul 
as the effects of a coronal hole high speed wind stream abate.

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 the Australian 
region on UT day 24-Jul. Mostly G0 conditions were observed in 
the Antarctic region, with isolated periods of G1 at Casey and 
Mawson. G0 geomagnetic conditions are expected over 25-27 Jul.
