SUMMARY FOR 07 JUNE AND FORECAST FOR 08 JUNE - 10 JUNE
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:GREEN   MAG:GREEN     ION: ** YELLOW **
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 07 Jun:  Low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 07 Jun: 137/91


1B. SOLAR FORECAST
             08 Jun             09 Jun             10 Jun
Activity     Low                Low                Low
Fadeouts     Possible           Possible           Possible
10.7cm/SSN   140/94             145/99             155/109

COMMENT: Solar activity has been at low levels during the last 
24 hours. Today's largest event was a C3 flare that peaked at 
0625UT. Solar wind speed mostly stayed around 350 km/s until 
a weak shock arrived at 1608UT. After the shock solar wind speed 
increased to over 400 km/s and remained steady at that level 
for the rest of the day. The Bz component of IMF was stable and 
close the normal value until the shock arrived. Bz fluctuated 
between approximately +10/-14 nT during the rest of the day. 
Minor coronal hole effects may keep the solar wind stream slightly 
enhanced on 8 June. Low levels of solar activity with the possibility 
of M-class activity may be expected during the next three days. 
A weak shock was observed in the solar wind at 1608UT on 07 Jun. 
ACE EPAM data indicates an energetic ion enhancement event beginning 
07/1945UT, which can be a precursor to increased geomagnetic 
activity over next 24-36 hours.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 07 Jun : 
      Darwin              10   (Quiet)
      Townsville           0   (Quiet)

      Gingin               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: Geomagnetic activity varied from quiet to active levels 
today. Quiet to Unsettled geomagnetic conditions with isolated 
active periods may be expected on 8 June. Conditions may decline 
to and stay at mostly quiet levels on 9 and 10 June. In the IPS 
magnetometer data for 07 Jun, a weak (14nT) impulse was observed 
at 1652UT.
