1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 24 Jun:  R0

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 24 Jun: 115/66

COMMENT: Solar activity on UT day 24-Jun was at the R0 level, 
with two low-level C-class flares. AR3038 (N16W59, beta-gamma) 
was responsible for majority of the flaring activity, but has 
shown some decay. There are currently four numbered sunspot regions 
on the solar disk, with AR3038 and AR3040 (S14E30, beta-gamma) 
being the most complex regions. The two remaining regions are 
stable, and will soon rotate over the western limb, within the 
next 24 hours. Solar activity is expected to be at R0-R1 levels 
over 25-27 Jun. Several CMEs were observed, but none are considered 
to be geoeffective. A filament eruption was observed in GOES 
SUVI and H-alpha imagery from 24/0800UT near N25W25, which almost 
completely disappeared. A further eruption of its remnants occurred 
from 24/1723UT near N20W30. Two narrow CMEs are visible in STEREO-A 
imagery from 24/1809UT directed to the southwest, and 24/1853UT 
directed to the northwest. The northwest CME is the likely result 
of the earlier filament eruption, and further analysis will be 
conducted to determine if there is an Earth-directed component 
when more imagery becomes available. The solar wind speed on 
24-Jun ranged between 400-540 km/s, and is currently near 425 
km/s. The peak total interplanetary magnetic field strength (IMF, 
Bt) was 10 nT, and the north-south IMF component (Bz) range was 
+6 to -7 nT. Bz was intermittently southward between 1722-2300UT. 
The solar wind speed is expected to be mildly enhanced over 25-27 
Jun due to coronal hole effects.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 24 Jun : 
      Darwin               0   (Quiet)
      Townsville          NA
      Learmonth            0   (Quiet)

      Canberra             0   (Quiet)
      Hobart               8   (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.

Date      Ap    Conditions
25 Jun    13    G0
26 Jun    13    G0
27 Jun     8    G0

COMMENT: G0 geomagnetic conditions were observed in the Australian 
region on UT day 24-Jun. G0 conditions were generally observed 
in the Antarctic region, with periods of G1 observed at Mawson. 
G0 conditions are expected over 25-27 Jun in the Australian region, 
with mild disturbances of the geomagnetic field expected due 
to coronal hole wind stream effects.

(MUFs) on UT day 24-Jun were mostly near monthly predicted values. 
Mild ionospheric depressions were observed during local night 
hours at most sites. Spread-F was observed at Hobart during local 
night hours. MUFs are expected to be near predicted monthly values 
over 25-27 Jun, with mild degradations possible during local 
night hours. There is a chance of shortwave fadeouts.
