SUBJ: IPS DAILY SOLAR AND GEOPHYSICAL REPORT
ISSUED AT 05/2330Z JUNE 2005 BY IPS RADIO AND SPACE SERVICES
FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE
SUMMARY FOR 05 JUNE AND FORECAST FOR 06 JUNE - 08 JUNE
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:** YELLOW **   MAG:** YELLOW **     ION: GREEN
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 05 Jun:  Low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 05 Jun: 105/54


1B. SOLAR FORECAST
             06 Jun             07 Jun             08 Jun
Activity     Low to moderate    Low to moderate    Low to moderate
Fadeouts     Possible           Possible           Possible
10.7cm/SSN   110/60             110/60             110/60
COMMENT: Solar activity was low over the last 24 hours with only 
C-class events from both regions 772 and 776. The largest event 
was from region 776 with a C3.5 event at 1304UT. Solar 
wind speed rose from 550km/s at 0000UT to a maximum of 650km/s 
at 1300UT and then fell to be 550km/s at the time of this report. 
Elevated solar wind paramters due to the current geoeffective 
coronal hole are expected to continue for the next 2 days. The 
magnitude of the north-south component of the interplanetary 
magnetic field (Bz), gradually fell from 10nT to 5nT as it fluctuated 
throughout the UT day. Further C-class events are expected for 
the next few days with the chance of isolated M-class events.

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.

07 Jun    15    Unsettled to Active 
08 Jun     8    Quiet to Unsettled 
COMMENT: Quiet to Active conditions observed over the last 24 
hours due to the effects of the coronal hole wind stream. Mostly 
Unsettled with isolated Active periods are expected over the 
next 2 days.

4A. AUSTRALIAN REGION IONOSPHERIC SUMMARY


Date   T index
05 Jun    47

Observed Australian Regional MUFs
   Equatorial PNG Region:
      Near predicted monthly values during local day,
      Enhanced by 15% during local night.
      Enhanced by 30% after local dawn.
   Northern Australian Region:
      Near predicted monthly values during local day,
      Depressed by 20% during local night.
   Southern Australian and New Zealand Region:
      Near predicted monthly values during local day,
      Enhanced by 15% during local night.
   Antarctic Region (Casey/Scott Base):
      Enhanced by 55% over the UT day.

Predicted Monthly T index for June:  26

4B. AUSTRALIAN REGION IONOSPHERIC FORECAST
Date   T index  MUFs
06 Jun    30    near predicted monthly values/depressed 5 to 
                10% 
07 Jun    30    near predicted monthly values/depressed 5 to 
                10% 
08 Jun    35    near predicted monthly values 
COMMENT: IPS HF Communications Warning 26 was issued on 5 June 
and is current for interval 5-7 June. Southern Aus/NZ region 
MUFs expected to have periods of mild depressions over the next 
two days due to coronal hole induced geomagnetic activity.
