COMMENT: Solar activity was Very Low for UT day 29 November. 
There are currently no sunspots on the visible disk and no sunspots 
are expected to rotate onto the visible disk. Very Low levels 
of solar activity are expected for the next three UT days, 30 
November to 02 December. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed 
in the available coronagraph imagery. On UT day 29 November, 
the solar wind speed was near its background levels, varying 
in the range 350-380 km/s. The total IMF (Bt) varied between 
2 nT and 6 nT. The north-south component of IMF, Bz, varied between 
+/-6 nT. The solar wind speed is expected to remain near its 
background levels for the next three UT days, 30 November to 
02 December.

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.

levels in the Australian region. The Antarctic region observed 
mostly Quiet to Active levels. Global geomagnetic activity is 
expected to be mostly at Quiet levels for the next three UT days, 
30 November to 02 December.

4B. AUSTRALIAN REGION IONOSPHERIC FORECAST
Date   T index  MUFs
30 Nov   -25    Near predicted monthly values/depressed 15 to 
                25%

COMMENT: Maximum usable frequencies (MUFs) varied between near 
predicted monthly values to mildly and moderately depressed ones. 
Sporadic-E occurrences were seen over all the sites. For the 
next three UT days, 30 November to 02 December, mildly depressed 
to near predicted monthly MUFs are expected over the Australian 
region.
