SUBJ: IPS DAILY SOLAR AND GEOPHYSICAL REPORT
ISSUED AT 2330UT/09 JUNE 2014 BY IPS RADIO AND SPACE SERVICES
FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE
SUMMARY FOR 09 JUNE AND FORECAST FOR 10 JUNE - 12 JUNE
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:** YELLOW **   MAG:GREEN     ION: GREEN
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 09 Jun:  Low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 09 Jun: 161/115


1B. SOLAR FORECAST
             10 Jun             11 Jun             12 Jun
Activity     Low to moderate    Low to moderate    Low to moderate
Fadeouts     Possible           Possible           Possible
10.7cm/SSN   165/119            165/119            165/119

COMMENT: Solar activity was low over the last 24 hours. C-class 
flares were observed from regions 2080 (S11W15) and 2085 (S19W12), 
with the latter producing a C9 event at 09/1229UT. Both these 
regions showed signs of growth. A CME with an associated type 
II radio sweep was observed from the east limb, but is not Earth-directed. 
Low to moderate activity is expected for the next 3 days, with 
M-class events possible from new regions rotating onto the disc. 
Region 2065 (S19) which previously produced M-flare(s) is due 
to return around 9 Jun. The solar wind speed declined gradually 
from ~600km/s to ~400km/s. The IMF Bz component was mostly neutral, 
with a negative bias. The solar wind speed is expected to show 
a moderate increase over the next 3 days.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 09 Jun : 
      Darwin              14   (Quiet)
      Townsville           0   (Quiet)

      Gingin              42   (Unsettled)
      Canberra            38   (Quiet to unsettled)

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: Mostly quiet conditions were observed over the Australian 
region over the last 24 hours, with a brief unsettled period 
at high latitudes between 9-12UT. Brief storm level periods were 
observed in Antarctic. Quiet conditions are expected for the 
Australian region for the next 3 days.

and also overnight in Northern Australia. Otherwise, MUFs were 
near monthly predicted values. MUFs are expected to be near to 
predicted monthly values over the next 3 days, with some mild 
depressions.
