SUMMARY FOR 11 JUNE AND FORECAST FOR 12 JUNE - 14 JUNE

1A. SOLAR SUMMARY

COMMENT: Mostly low level flare activity was observed from a 
number of regions during 11 June with an isolated M1-flare at 
0855UT from region 2367 towards the south-east limb. Mostly low 
level flare activity is expected for 12 June with the small chance 
of moderate flare activity. A glancing blow from a partial halo 
CME is expected during 12 June. A slow moving CME observed during 
11 June appears to be directed primarily northward of the ecliptic 
plane and is not expected to geoeffective. Solar wind speeds 
have continued to decline slowly as the effects of a coronal 
hole abate. Solar wind speeds are expected to increase again 
slightly during 12 June with the anticipated impact of the partial 
halo CME and then again later in the forecast period under the 
influence of another coronal hole.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 11 Jun : 
      Darwin               0   (Quiet)

      Canberra            22   (Quiet to unsettled)
      Melbourne           27   (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.

2B. MAGNETIC FORECAST 
Date      Ap    Conditions
12 Jun    20    Initially quiet with the active periods possible 
                later and the chance of minor storm periods at 
                high latitudes

COMMENT: IPS Geomagnetic Warning 22 was issued on 11 June and 
is current for 12 Jun only. Geomagnetic activity is expected 
to increase during 12 June due to the anticipated glancing impact 
from a partial halo CME. The effects are expected to be mild.

COMMENT: Mostly normal conditions are expected over the next 
few days with chance of isolated depressions at times. Spread-F 
conditions have been observed at a number of stations during 
11 June which may have resulted in intermittent degraded HF conditions. 
Spread-F conditions are expected at times during 12 June.
