1A. SOLAR SUMMARY

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 25 Nov:  94/40

COMMENT: On UT day 25 November, solar activity was very low. 
There are currently three numbered regions on the visible solar 
disc: AR2896 (Hrx-Alpha S18W71), AR2897 (Hrx-Alpha N15W56) that 
have decayed and AR2898 (Dso-Beta S24E21) that is growing in 
magnetic complexity. Solar activity is expected to be very low 
on UT days 26-28 November. The large filament, that continues 
to be monitored, produced a filament eruption near S25W15 around 
25/0018 UT. No Earth directed CMEs were observed in the available 
coronagraph data. On UT day 25 November, the solar wind speed 
was between 405 km/s and 470 km/s. The peak total IMF (Bt) was 
6 nT and the north-south IMF (Bz) component range was +3/-5 nT. 
The solar wind speed is expected to be at slightly enhanced levels 
on UT days 26-28 November due small equatorial coronal holes 
moving into geoeffective position. Also the 24 November DSF CME 
could deliver a glancing blow late on 27 November through 28 
November, elevating the solar wind parameters even further.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 25 Nov :

      Townsville           0   (Quiet)

      Canberra             0   (Quiet)
      Hobart               2   (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.

                minor storm
28 Nov    17    Unsettled to active with a small chance of a 
                minor storm

COMMENT: On UT day 25 November, geomagnetic conditions in the 
Australian region were quiet. Quiet to active conditions were 
observed in the Antarctic region. Geomagnetic conditions are 
expected to be quiet to unsettled on UT days 26-28 November due 
to coronal hole effects. Also the 24 November DSF CME could deliver 
a glancing blow late on 27 November through 28 November, causing 
unsettled to active conditions with a small chance of a minor 
storm.
