SUBJ: IPS DAILY SOLAR AND GEOPHYSICAL REPORT
ISSUED AT 09/2330Z JUNE 2006 BY IPS RADIO AND SPACE SERVICES
FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE
SUMMARY FOR 09 JUNE AND FORECAST FOR 10 JUNE - 12 JUNE
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:GREEN   MAG:GREEN     ION: GREEN
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 09 Jun:  Very low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 09 Jun:  78/17


1B. SOLAR FORECAST
             10 Jun             11 Jun             12 Jun
Activity     Very low           Very low           Very low
Fadeouts     None expected      None expected      None expected
10.7cm/SSN    78/17              78/17              78/17
COMMENT: Solar activity remained very low today. Due to 
the effect of the coronal hole the solar wind speed still 
remained enhanced between 600 and 670 km/s for most part 
of the UTday today. The north-south component of the 
interplanetary magnetic field (Bz) showed minor to moderate 
fluctuations on both sides of the normal value throughout 
the UTday. Solar activity is expected to remain at very low 
levels for the next three days.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 09 Jun : 
      Canberra            24   (Quiet to unsettled)
      Learmonth            2   (Quiet)

      Hobart              40   (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.

10 Jun    10    Quiet to Unsettled 
11 Jun     7    Quiet 
12 Jun     7    Quiet 
COMMENT: Despite the  solar wind speed consistently 
remaining between  600 to  650 km/s the rise in the 
geomagnetic  activity  level, due to  the currently 
going on  coronal hole  effect, has been  less than 
what was  anticipated during the last few days. The 
solar wind speed is still high around 620 km/s. The 
geomagnetic activity is expected to continue to remain 
at quiet to unsettled levels on 10 June and then decline 
to mostly quiet levels on 11 and 12 June.
