COMMENT: Solar activity is currently Moderate with an M1 flare 
produced by region 2106(N15E46) and several C class flares from 
regions 2104(S10E41) and 2107(S20E50). These two regions may 
also produce M class flares in the coming days. A CME was observed 
in possible association with the M flare however it was directed 
well to the north as is unlikely to be geoeffective. Solar wind 
conditions are ambient.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 01 Jul : 
      Darwin               4   (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.
