SUBJ: IPS DAILY SOLAR AND GEOPHYSICAL REPORT

SUMMARY FOR 02 JUNE AND FORECAST FOR 03 JUNE - 05 JUNE
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:GREEN   MAG:GREEN     ION: ** YELLOW **
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 02 Jun:  Very low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 02 Jun: 105/54


1B. SOLAR FORECAST
             03 Jun             04 Jun             05 Jun
Activity     Very low to low    Very low to low    Very low to low
Fadeouts     None expected      None expected      None expected
10.7cm/SSN   105/54             105/54             105/54

COMMENT: Solar activity was Very Low for the UT day, 02 June 
and expected to remain Very Low to Low over the next three days. 
The solar wind ranged between 260-320 km/s and the Bz component 
has varied between +4/-9 nT over the last 24 hours. A small coronal 
hole is entering a geo-effective position around 40 degrees west 
and just south of the equatorial region of the Sun and is expected 
to elevate the solar wind stream slightly today. It appears to 
be associated with a negative Bz component of the IMF, currently 
-8nT. There is also a coronal hole just west of the central meridian 
near the equatorial region expected to be geo-effective in two 
days.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 02 Jun : 
      Darwin               2   (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.

COMMENT: The geomagnetic field was Quiet in the Australian during 
the UT day, 02 June. Expect an increase to Unsettled levels in 
geomagnetic activity today in the Australian region with isolated 
cases of Active levels at high latitudes due to a weak coronal 
hole. Tomorrow, 04 June, expect Quiet to Unsettled levels of 
activity. On 05 June another small coronal hole is expected to 
become geo-effective returning to Unsettled conditions in the 
Australian region with isolated cases of Active levels at high 
latitudes.

      Depressed by 35% during local night.
   Southern Australian and New Zealand Region:
      Depressed by 25% during local day.
      Depressed by 15% during local night.
      Depressed by 20% after local dawn.
   Antarctic Region (Casey/Scott Base/Davis/Mawson):
      Near predicted monthly values over the UT day.

Monthly T index:

Jul      91

4B. AUSTRALIAN REGION IONOSPHERIC FORECAST
Date   T index  MUFs
03 Jun    60    15 to 30% below predicted monthly values
04 Jun    60    15 to 30% below predicted monthly values
05 Jun    60    15 to 30% below predicted monthly values

COMMENT: Variable depressions to 35% observed in the Australian 
region due to declining EUV levels resulting from a decrease 
in active regions on the Sun. Expect similar conditions over 
the next three days. Note MUFs are expected to remain lower than 
predicted due to this decrease in EUV.
