SUMMARY FOR 08 JUNE AND FORECAST FOR 09 JUNE - 11 JUNE
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:GREEN   MAG:GREEN     ION: ** YELLOW **

1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 08 Jun:  Low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 08 Jun: 149/104


1B. SOLAR FORECAST
             09 Jun             10 Jun             11 Jun
Activity     Low                Low                Low

10.7cm/SSN   155/109            160/114            165/119

COMMENT: Solar activity has been at low levels during the last 
24 hours. Today's largest event was a long duration C1.9 flare 
that started at 0834 UT, peaked at 1002UT and ended at 1049UT. 
The flare was from a region behind the east limb. Solar wind 
speed showed a gradual increase from 400 km/s to nearly 600 km/s 
during the UT day today. The Bz component of IMF fluctuated between 
approximately +/-20 nT during the first half of the UT day and 
then gradually became more stable close to the normal value by 
the end of the day. Low levels of solar activity with the possibility 
of M-class activity may be expected during the next three days. 
Region 2065 (S19) which previously produced M-flare(s) is due 
to return around 9 Jun.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 08 Jun : 
      Darwin              64   (Active)
      Townsville           6   (Quiet)
      Learmonth           11   (Quiet)
      Alice Springs        6   (Quiet)
      Gingin              51   (Unsettled)
      Canberra            65   (Active)

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.

09 Jun    15    Quiet to Active
10 Jun    10    Quiet to Unsettled
11 Jun     5    Quiet

COMMENT: Periods of minor geomagnetic storm were observed today, 
probably due to an unexpected glancing blow of a CME that was 
observed on 4 June. Solar wind stream is still going strong. 
Geomagnetic activity may go up to active levels on 9 June and 
then gradually decline to quiet to unsettled conditions on 10 
June and quiet conditions on 11 June. In the IPS magnetometer 
data for 08 Jun, a weak (34nT) impulse was observed at 0730UT.

10 June. More normal conditions may be expected on 11 June.
