FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE
SUMMARY FOR 27 JULY AND FORECAST FOR 28 JULY - 30 JULY
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:GREEN   MAG:GREEN     ION: GREEN
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 27 Jul:  Low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 27 Jul: 108/58


1B. SOLAR FORECAST
             28 Jul             29 Jul             30 Jul
Activity     Very low to low    Very low to low    Very low to low
Fadeouts     None expected      None expected      None expected
10.7cm/SSN   105/54             110/60             115/66

COMMENT: Solar activity was predominantly Very Low with an isolated 
low level C-class flare observed during 27 July. Solar activity 
is expected to be predominantly Very Low to Low with the very 
small chance of M-class flares. CME activity observed late on 
26 July and very weak CME activity observed during 27 July is 
not expected to be geoeffective. Solar wind speeds continued 
to decline slowly during 27 July and are expected to continue 
this trend during 28 July.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 27 Jul : 
      Darwin               8   (Quiet)
      Townsville           2   (Quiet)
      Learmonth            0   (Quiet)
      Alice Springs        0   (Quiet)
      Gingin              16   (Quiet)
      Canberra            20   (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 International Center for Space Weather 
Science and Education, Japan.
