COMMENT: Solar activity on UT day 10-Jun was at the R3 level, 
with one X1.5 class flare at 10/1108UT originating from AR3697 
(S18W96, beta). There are currently eight numbered sunspot regions 
on the solar disk and one unnumbered region. AR3709 (S10E34, 
beta) is the largest region on the visible solar disk and grew 
over the UT day. AR3707 (S18E07, beta) has shown growth in its 
trailer spots. The unnumbered region (N18W55) recently appeared 
and grew late in the UT day. All other sunspot regions are either 
stable or in decay. AR3697, which has produced numerous flares 
during its transit across the Sun, has rotated over the western 
limb and out of view, while still producing flare activity. Solar 
activity is expected to be at R0-R1 levels over 11-13 Jun. Two 
CMEs associated with flare activity from AR3697 were observed 
and are not considered to be geoeffective. No Earth-directed 
CMEs have been observed. Proton flux remained at the S0 level, 
declining over the UT day towards background levels. S0 solar 
radiation storm conditions are expected over 11-13 Jun. The solar 
wind speed was at background levels for the beginning of the 
UT day. A weak shock was observed in the solar wind at 10/1637UT. 
An associated step increase in Bt was observed, with intermittent 
periods of southward Bz. The solar wind speed ranged from 327 
to 502 km/s and is currently near 485 km/s. The peak total interplanetary 
field strength (IMF, Bt) was 16 nT and the north-south IMF component 
(Bz) range was +10 to -11 nT. Solar wind conditions are expected 
to remain slightly elevated over 11-Jun before returning to background 
levels by 12-Jun.

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: ASWFC Geomagnetic Warning 27 was issued on 8 June and 
is current for 10-11 Jun. G0 geomagnetic conditions were observed 
in the Australian region on UT day 10-Jun. Mostly G0 was observed in 
the Antarctic region, with an isolated period of G1 observed 
at Mawson. A weak shock was observed in the solar wind at 10/1637UT, 
likely associated with the arrival of a CME that was first observed 
on 08-Jun. G0-G1 conditions are expected on 11-Jun before returning 
to G0 by 12-Jun.
