COMMENT: Solar activity for UT day 27-Nov was at the R0 level, 
with no significant flare activity observed throughout the day. 
There are currently five active regions on the visible solar 
surface, with active region AR4191 (S14E03, beta-gamma) being 
the largest and most magnetically complex region. This region 
has shown both growth and decay in the trailer spots over the 
last 24 hours. AR4288 (N18W10, beta) has shown some growth in 
mid spots on the northern side. All other regions are either 
stable or in decay. Solar activity is expected to remain at the 
R0 level, with a chance of R1 over the period 28-30 Nov. Solar 
proton conditions were at the S0 level, with the 10 MeV proton 
flux showing a slight elevation above background for the third 
day in a row starting from after 27/1800UT, but still well within 
the S0 range. S0 conditions are expected to continue over 28-30 
Nov. No earth directed CMEs were observed. A CME from the farside 
was first observed at 26/2348UT in LASCO C2 coronagraph imagery 
off the eastern limb and may indicate the presence of a strong 
active region rotating towards the Earth facing side of the Sun 
with AR4274, previous X class producing AR due to return from 
29 Nov. The solar wind speed remained very strong over the past 
UT day due to high speed wind stream effects from an equatorial 
coronal hole. The solar wind speed largely ranged between 620-730 
km/s over the last UT day with a general decreasing trend and 
is currently at 620km/s. The interplanetary magnetic field strength 
(IMF, Bt) peaked at 8 nT during 27-Nov, with the North-South 
component (Bz) ranging between -6 and +4 nT. The solar wind speed 
is forecast to ease from very strong to strong over the next 
24 hours, and continue declining over 29-30 Nov.

      Canberra            91   (Minor storm)
      Hobart              59   (Unsettled)

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.

28 Nov    14    G0, chance of G1
29 Nov    12    G0
30 Nov    10    G0

COMMENT: G0 geomagnetic conditions were observed across the Australian 
region over UT day 27-Nov, with a period of G1 geomagnetic conditions 
observed at Townsville, Learmonth and Alice Springs. G1 levels 
were seen across the Antarctic region with a period of G2 at 
Macquarie Island. Geomagnetic conditions are forecast at the 
G0 level with a chance of G1 over 28-Nov, due to ongoing but 
declining coronal hole high speed wind stream effects. These 
conditions will continue to decline to G0 on 29-30 Nov as the 
equatorial coronal hole rotates past a geoeffective position.

COMMENT: HF radio propagation conditions on UT day 27-Nov were 
normal to fair, with fair conditions observed across the high 
latitudes due to current geomagnetic conditions. Conditions are 
expected to be normal to fair over 28 Nov, with further depressions 
due to ongoing geomagnetic activity, improving over 29-30 Nov. 
Scintillation events are possible.
