1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 05 Oct:  Very low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 05 Oct:  82/23

COMMENT: Solar activity was very low on UT day 05 October. There 
are currently two numbered sunspot regions on the solar disk 
(2880 N29W32 Cro, N2882 N16E60 Cao at 2245 UT/05 October) visible 
from the earth side. Very low to low solar activity is expected 
for UT days 06 to 08 October. No Earth directed CMEs have been 
observed in the last 24 hours. On UT day 05 October, solar wind 
parameters were near background levels. The solar wind speed 
varied between 285 and 325 km/s, the total IMF (Bt) varied from 
3 to 6 nT and the north-south IMF (Bz) component range was +4/-4 
nT. Bz was mostly weakly southward during the UT day. The solar 
wind speed is expected to be mostly near its nominal levels for 
the next three UT days, 06 to 08 October.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 05 Oct : 
      Darwin               0   (Quiet)
      Townsville           0   (Quiet)

      Canberra             0   (Quiet)
      Hobart               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.
