1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 05 Oct:  Very low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 05 Oct: 106/55

COMMENT: Solar activity was Very Low over the UT day, 05 October. 
Expect Very Low solar activity for the next three days. The solar 
wind decreased from 360 to 330 km/s and is expected remain in 
this range for the next several or slightly above. The Bz component 
of the interplanetary magnetic field was mostly northward over 
the last 24 hours. CME noted on LASCO and STEREO imagery at approximately 
05/0730UT (note halo CME viewed from STEREO B and associated 
with type II sweep). CME is not geoeffective.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 05 Oct : 
      Darwin               2   (Quiet)
      Townsville           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 International Center for Space Weather 
Science and Education, Japan.

COMMENT: The geomagnetic activity was Quiet during the UT day, 
05 October. Expect geomagnetic activity to be mostly quiet for 
the next three days with the possibility of Unsettled to Active 
levels at high latitudes if we get glancing blow from CME occurring 
late on UT day, 02 October.
