1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 30 Jun:  Low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 30 Jun: 141/95

COMMENT: Solar activity is at Low levels with several C-class 
flares occurring over the last 24 hours the greatest being at 
C3 level. The most significant regions on the visible Sun remain 
regions 2104(S10E64) and 2107(S20E75). Solar wind conditions 
are ambient with the total field strength of the IMF (Bt) reducing 
to around 5nT from the slightly elevated levels over the past 
couple of days. Flare activity is expected to remain at Low levels, 
with a small chance of M-class flares. Solar wind conditions 
are expected to remain ambient for the next 3 days.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 30 Jun : 
      Darwin              12   (Quiet)
      Townsville           0   (Quiet)

      Canberra             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.

4A. AUSTRALIAN REGION IONOSPHERIC SUMMARY


Date   T index
30 Jun    70

Observed Australian Regional MUFs
   Cocos Island Region:
      Near predicted monthly values during local day.
      No data available during local night.
   Niue Island Region:
      Depressed by 20% during local day.
      Depressed by 20% during local night.
   Northern Australian Region:
      Depressed by 15% during local day.
      Depressed by 30% during local night.
   Southern Australian and New Zealand Region:
      Depressed by 15% during local day.
      Near predicted monthly values during local night.
   Antarctic Region (Casey/Scott Base/Davis/Mawson):
      Near predicted monthly values over the UT day.

Monthly T index:

4B. AUSTRALIAN REGION IONOSPHERIC FORECAST
Date   T index  MUFs
01 Jul    75    Near predicted monthly values
02 Jul    80    Near predicted monthly values
03 Jul    85    Near predicted monthly values

COMMENT: MUFs were depressed by between 15-30% across most of 
Australia over the previous day. The ionising EUV flux from the 
Sun is trending upwards and MUFs should return to near monthly 
predicted values over the coming days.
