SUBJ: SWS DAILY SOLAR AND GEOPHYSICAL REPORT
ISSUED AT 2330UT/28 JUNE 2017 BY Space Weather Services
FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE
SUMMARY FOR 28 JUNE AND FORECAST FOR 29 JUNE - 01 JULY
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:GREEN   MAG:GREEN     ION: GREEN
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 28 Jun:  Very low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 28 Jun:  72/8


1B. SOLAR FORECAST
             29 Jun             30 Jun             01 Jul
Activity     Very low           Very low           Very low to low
Fadeouts     None expected      None expected      None expected
10.7cm/SSN    72/8               72/8               72/8

COMMENT: Solar activity was Very Low over the last 24 hours. 
No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in the available LASCO imagery. 
Region 2664 (N18W32) is currently the only region on the visible 
disc, remains quiet and has reduced in overall spot area. The 
solar wind speed declined gradually over the UT day, from 475km/s 
at 00UT to be 425km/s at the time of this report. The Bz component 
of the interplanetary magnetic field ranged between +/-2nT. Solar 
wind speed is expected to be mildly enhanced 29Jun-30Jun due 
to the influence of a small equatorially located positive polarity 
coronal hole. Very Low solar activity is expected for the next 
3 days with a small chance of C-class flares.

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.

with possible Unsettled periods expected on 29Jun-30Jun due to 
the influence of a small equatorially located positive polarity 
coronal hole. Quiet conditions expected for 01Jul.

during the local dawn, depressions during local day for SWS Niue 
Is. station and disturbed conditions for Antarctic regions. Depressed 
MUF's possible for Southern AUS/NZ regions 29Jun-30Jun due to 
minor geomagnetic activity. MUFs Near predicted monthly values
