1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 25 Jul:  R0

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 25 Jul: 102/50

COMMENT: Solar activity on UT day 25-Jul was at the R0 level, 
with no significant flaring activity. There are currently six 
numbered sunspot regions visible on the solar disk. AR3065 (S18W35, 
beta) has shown growth in its trailer spots. A new sunspot region, 
AR3066 (S14E19, beta), recently appeared on the solar disk and 
has shown spot development. All other sunspot regions are either 
stable or in decay. Solar activity is expected to be at the R0 
level over 26-28 Jul. Several CMEs were observed, but none are 
considered geoeffective. A west-directed CME was observed, visible 
in STEREO-A and LASCO C2 coronagraph imagery from 25/0838UT. 
Model runs indicate this CME does not contain an Earth-directed 
component. The solar wind speed on 25-Jul ranged from 490 to 
415 km/s and is currently near 445 km/s with a declining trend. 
The peak total interplanetary field strength (IMF, Bt) was 6 
nT and the north-south IMF component (Bz) range was +5 to -4 
nT. The solar wind speed is expected to continue to decline to 
near background levels over 26-28 Jul due to waning coronal hole 
effects.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 25 Jul : 
      Darwin               0   (Quiet)
      Townsville          NA
      Learmonth            0   (Quiet)

      Canberra             2   (Quiet)
      Hobart               6   (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.

COMMENT: G0 geomagnetic conditions were observed in the Australian 
region on UT day 25-Jul. Mostly G0 conditions were observed in 
the Antarctic region, with an isolated period of G1 at Mawson. 
G0 geomagnetic conditions are expected over 26-28 Jul.
