COMMENT: Solar activity has been at low levels over the previous 
24 hours with only C class flares, the greatest a C4. Several 
visible sunspot regions are of significant size and complexity 
but remain persistently inactive against expectations. M-class 
flares are possible over the next few days. Solar wind conditions 
are ambient.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 04 Jul : 
      Darwin               6   (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.
