1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 06 Oct:  Low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 06 Oct: 107/57

COMMENT: Solar activity was Low over the UT day, 06 October. 
The largest X-ray flare was a C1.1 at 1424UT. Expect Very Low 
to Low solar activity for the next three days. The solar wind 
decreased from 325 to 300 km/s and is expected remain in this 
range for the next several days or slightly above. The Bz component 
of the interplanetary magnetic field ranged between +2/-3 nT 
over the last 24 hours. CME noted on LASCO and STEREO-A imagery 
early in the UT day to the north and southwest of the solar disc. 
This activity is not expected to be geoeffective.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 06 Oct : 
      Darwin               6   (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.
