SUMMARY FOR 21 JUNE AND FORECAST FOR 22 JUNE - 24 JUNE
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:GREEN   MAG:GREEN     ION: GREEN
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 21 Jun:  Very low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 21 Jun:  67/0

             22 Jun             23 Jun             24 Jun

10.7cm/SSN    67/0               67/0               67/0

COMMENT: Solar activity has been very low over the last 24 hours. 
During this period the solar wind speed stayed mostly between 
340 and 390 km/s reaching a peak of around 415 km/s at 1311 UT, 
total IMF Bt varied mostly between 2.5 nT and 8.5 nT, the Bz 
component of IMF varied between +8 nT and -5 nT and the particle 
density varied between 4 ppcc and 20 ppcc. There are no sunspots 
on the solar disk visible from the earthside. Due to the effect 
of some fragmented negative polarity coronal holes, solar wind 
stream may get slightly strengthened at times on UT day 22 June. 
Solar activity is expected to stay at very low levels for the 
next three UT days (22 to 24 June).

      Darwin               0   (Quiet)
      Townsville           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.

(22 to 24 June).

COMMENT: Maximum usable frequencies (MUFs) stayed near the predicted 
monthly values with some periods of minor to moderate enhancements 
during UT day 21 June. Periods of strong sporadic E were also 
observed on low and high latitudes. MUFs may be expected to stay 
mostly around the predicted monthly values for the next three 
UT days (22 to 24 June).
