1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 05 Jul:  R0

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 05 Jul: 117/69

COMMENT: Solar activity on UT day 5-Jul was R0, with no solar 
flares. There are currently five numbered sunspot regions on 
the solar disk. AR4130 (S10E05, beta) has shown some slight growth 
in the past day, but is overall small and reasonably simple. 
All other sunspot regions are small and stable. Solar activity 
is expected to be R0 over 6-8 Jul. 

A prominence eruption can be seen from 05/0700 UT from the solar 
northwest limb and was associated with a CME. This CME is not expected 
to be geoeffective. No other CMEs were observed on UT day 5-Jul. 

S0 solar radiation storm conditions were observed on UT day 5-Jul. 
S0 solar radiation storm conditions are expected over 6-8 Jul.

 The solar wind environment on UT day 5-Jul was mildly perturbed due 
to ongoing coronal hole effects. The solar wind speed ranged from 
369 to 487 km/s and is on an increasing trend. The peak total interplanetary 
field strength (IMF, Bt) was 13 nT adn the north-south IMF component 
range (Bz) was +8 to -11 nT, with several periods of sustained 
southward Bz. The solar wind is expected to peak on UT day 5-Jul 
before beginning to return to background levels over 6-7 Jul.

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 generally observed in 
the Australian region on UT day 5-Jul, with an isolated period 
of G1 at Gingin. G0-G1 geomagnetic conditions were observed in 
the Antarctic region. Mostly G0 geomagnetic conditions are expected 
over 6-8 Jul with a small chance of G1 on 6-Jul.

values to 25% depressed. Conditions at low and high latitudes 
were degraded during local dawn hours and Cocos Island experienced 
significant depressions. MUFs are expected to be near predicted 
values to 15% depressed on UT day 6-Jul, on an improving trend 
over 7-8 Jul.
