1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 09 Nov:  R0

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 09 Nov: 138/92

10.7cm/SSN   135/89             135/89             140/94

COMMENT: Solar activity on UT day 9-Nov was at the R0 level with 
several C-class flares. The largest of which was a C4.3 flare 
at 9/2005UT originating at AR3140 (N26E02, beta). There are currently 
five numbered sunspot regions visible on the solar disk and one 
unnumbered region. AR3141 (N14E14, beta-gamma) remains the largest 
region on the disk and has shown growth in its trailer spots. 
A new unnumbered region recently appeared at S17E18 (alpha) and 
is stable. All other sunspot regions are either stable or in 
decay. Solar activity is expected to be at the R0-R1 level over 
10-12 Nov, with a slight chance of R2. No Earth-directed CMEs 
have been observed. The solar wind speed on UT day 9-Nov was 
mild, ranging from 315 to 394 km/s, and is currently near 335 
km/s. The peak total interplanetary field strength (IMF, Bt) 
was 7 nT, and the north-south IMF component (Bz) range was +3 
to -5. A period of sustained southward IMF conditions was observed 
from 9/0000UT to 9/0715UT. The solar wind speed is expected to 
remain mild over 10-12 Nov.

      Townsville           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.
