1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 13 Nov:  R0

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 13 Nov: 137/91

             14 Nov             15 Nov             16 Nov
Activity     R0-R1              R0-R1              R0-R1

COMMENT: Solar activity on UT day 13-Nov was at the R0 level, 
with several C-class flares. There are currently four numbered 
sunspot regions visible on the solar disk. AR3140 (N26W50, beta) 
and AR3146 (N33E31, beta) have both exhibited spot development 
over the 24-hour period. AR3141 (N14W39, beta) has decreased 
in magnetic complexity and decayed. AR3145 (N25W35, beta) has 
also decayed. Solar activity is expected to be at R0-R1 levels 
over 14-16 Nov. Several CMEs were observed, but none are considered 
geoeffective. The solar wind speed on UT day 13-Nov increased, 
ranging from 430 to 530 km/s, and is currently near 525 km/s. 
The peak total interplanetary field strength (IMF, Bt) was 7 
nT, and the north-south IMF component (Bz) range was +7 to -5. 
The solar wind speed is expected to remain elevated over 14-16 
Nov, possibly with an increasing trend due to a narrow coronal 
hole rotating towards a geoeffective position.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 13 Nov : 
      Darwin               0   (Quiet)
      Townsville           0   (Quiet)

      Canberra            39   (Quiet to unsettled)
      Hobart              14   (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 13-Nov. Mostly G0 geomagnetic conditions were observed 
in the Antarctic region, with an isolated period of G1 observed 
at Mawson. G0 geomagnetic conditions are expected over 14-16 
Nov.
