SUBJ: IPS DAILY SOLAR AND GEOPHYSICAL REPORT

FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE
SUMMARY FOR 14 NOVEMBER AND FORECAST FOR 15 NOVEMBER - 17 NOVEMBER
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:** YELLOW **   MAG:GREEN     ION: GREEN
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 14 Nov:  Low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 14 Nov: 161/115

1B. SOLAR FORECAST
             15 Nov             16 Nov             17 Nov
Activity     Low to moderate    Low                Low
Fadeouts     Possible           None expected      None expected
10.7cm/SSN   155/109            150/105            150/105

COMMENT: Only C-class flares from regions 1348 (N19,W70) and 
1347 (N09,E31) with rapid growth in region 1348. STEREO images 
show a CME between 1725 and 1909 UT erupting from the northern 
hemisphere and out of the equatorial plane. Another CME erupted 
before 2140 UT. The former CME is not likely to be geo-effective, 
while there are insufficient images at this time to determine 
the path of the latter CME. SDO images show a filament eruption 
in the north-east quadrant around 1638 UT, possibly associated 
with the first CME. There is also brightening around the same 
time as the latter CME in the south-west quadrant. Solar wind 
parameters are expected to be mostly undisturbed over the forecast 
period.

Geomagnetic field for Australian Region 14 Nov: Quiet. Unsettled to
active periods early at high latitudes.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 14 Nov : 
      Darwin              22   (Quiet to unsettled)
      Townsville           0   (Quiet)

      Canberra            11   (Quiet)
      Hobart               0   (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.
