ISSUED AT 2330UT/19 JUNE 2014 BY IPS RADIO AND SPACE SERVICES
FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE
SUMMARY FOR 19 JUNE AND FORECAST FOR 20 JUNE - 22 JUNE
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:GREEN MAG:GREEN ION: ** YELLOW **
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 19 Jun: Low
Flares: none.
Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 19 Jun: 111/62
1B. SOLAR FORECAST
20 Jun 21 Jun 22 Jun
Activity Low Low Low
Fadeouts None expected None expected None expected
10.7cm/SSN 105/54 105/54 105/54
COMMENT: Regions 12093 (S10 E19) and 12095 (N06 W83) were the
only regions to produce C flares. Region 12093 showed growth,
12087 (S19 W49) decayed, while other regions appear stable. SDO/GONG
images show a filament eruption beginning ~1539 UT and adjacent
to 12093 which flared at 1924 UT. A CME was associated with this
activity and is expected to impact Earth late 22 to 23 June.
ACE data show the solar wind settling with wind speed decreasing
to 410 km/s. The northsouth IMF fluctuations decreased from +9
to -7 nT, to nominal levels.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 19 Jun :
Darwin 4 (Quiet)
Townsville 0 (Quiet)
Learmonth 5 (Quiet)
Alice Springs 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.
