SUBJ: IPS DAILY SOLAR AND GEOPHYSICAL REPORT
ISSUED AT 05/2330Z JANUARY 2007 BY IPS RADIO AND SPACE SERVICES
FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE
SUMMARY FOR 05 JANUARY AND FORECAST FOR 06 JANUARY - 08 JANUARY
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:GREEN MAG:GREEN ION: GREEN
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 05 Jan: Very low
Flares: none.
Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 05 Jan: 89/33
1B. SOLAR FORECAST
06 Jan 07 Jan 08 Jan
Activity Very low Very low Very low
Fadeouts None expected None expected None expected
10.7cm/SSN 90/34 90/34 90/34
COMMENT: There is a slight chance for isolated C-class flares
from regions 10933 and 10935. Solar wind speed should steadily
decrease though 06 January to near normal levels as coronal hole
influence dissipates, presently 620km/s. The Bz component of
the interplanetary magnetic field has fluctuated between +/-
4nT over the last 24 hours.

2A. MAGNETIC SUMMARY
Geomagnetic field for Australian Region 05 Jan: Quiet to Unsettled
Estimated Indices 05 Jan : A K
Australian Region 9 22233222
Darwin 8 22233112
Townsville 9 22233222
Learmonth 7 222-----
Camden 7 22233111
Canberra 8 12233122
Hobart 8 22233211
Casey(Ant) 10 ---33222
Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 05 Jan :
Darwin 0 (Quiet)
Townsville 0 (Quiet)
Learmonth 0 (Quiet)
Camden 37 (Quiet to unsettled)
Canberra 20 (Quiet)
Hobart 10 (Quiet)
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 Space Environment Research Center, Japan.
Estimated AFr/Ap Indices 05 Jan : A
Fredericksburg 6

06 Jan 8 Quiet to Unsettled
07 Jan 8 Quiet to Unsettled
08 Jan 8 Quiet to Unsettled
COMMENT: Geomagnetic activity is expected to remain at quiet
to unsettled levels for the next several days.

3A. GLOBAL HF PROPAGATION SUMMARY
Latitude Band
Date Low Middle High
05 Jan Normal Normal Normal
PCA Event : No event.
3B. GLOBAL HF PROPAGATION FORECAST
Latitude Band
Date Low Middle High
06 Jan Normal Normal Normal-Fair
07 Jan Normal Normal Normal-Fair
08 Jan Normal Normal Normal-Fair
COMMENT: HF conditions are expected to remain mostly normal for
the next several days. Sporadic E has been noted in the Australian
region over the last several days particularly in the evening
and morning hours, expect this trend to continue.

4A. AUSTRALIAN REGION IONOSPHERIC SUMMARY
Date T index
05 Jan 12
Observed Australian Regional MUFs
Equatorial PNG/Niue Region:
Near predicted monthly values.
Northern Australian Region:
Near predicted monthly values.
Southern Australian and New Zealand Region:
Near predicted monthly values.
Antarctic Region (Casey/Scott Base/Davis/Mawson):

07 Jan 20 Near predicted monthly values
08 Jan 20 Near predicted monthly values
COMMENT: HF conditions are expected to remain mostly normal for
the Aus/NZ region. Sporadic-E conditions may affect HF comms
at times, particularly noted in the evening and morning hours.
