1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 09 Jun: R0
Flares: none.
Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 09 Jun: 130/84
1B. SOLAR FORECAST
10 Jun 11 Jun 12 Jun
Activity R0-R1 R0-R1 R0-R1
Fadeouts Possible Possible Possible
10.7cm/SSN 130/84 130/84 128/81
COMMENT: Solar flare activity on UT day 09-Jun was at the R0
level with no flares above the C5.0 level. There are seven numbered
active regions (ARs) visible on the solar disk and one unnumbered
region. ARs 4464 (S13E13, beta) and newly numbered 4466 (N04W17,
beta-gamma) showed spot development over the UT day. AR 4465
(N11E58, beta-gamma) was stable but responsible for the largest
C-class flares observed on 09-Jun. Both ARs 4465 and 4466 have
beta-gamma magnetic complexity, all other numbered regions are
magnetically simple. A new region has developed on the solar
disk at around S07E09 with beta magnetic complexity. All other
regions are either stable or in decay. Solar activity over 10-12
Jun is expected to be at R0-R1 levels. S0 solar radiation storm
conditions were observed on UT day 09-Jun. S0 solar radiation
storm conditions are expected over 10-12 Jun. An east directed
CME is visible in SOHO and STEREO-A imagery from 09/1648UT. This
event is seemingly associated with an eruption on disk, visible
in SDO, GOES SUVI and H-Alpha imagery from 09/1548UT at around
N11E12. A lack of recent imagery makes analysing this CME difficult,
however a preliminary model suggests that this CME will not produce
a significant impact at Earth. A west directed partial halo CME
is visible in SOHO imagery from 09/2112UT. This event is seemingly
associated with an eruption on disk, visible in SDO, GOES SUVI
and H-Alpha imagery from 09/1909UT at around S30W10. A lack of
recent imagery makes analysing this CME difficult. Further analysis
on both these CMEs will be undertaken when new imagery becomes
available. The solar wind speed was steady over the UT day 09-Jun
with wind speeds mostly ranging between 500 and 400 m/s. The
wind speed is currently at around 440 km/s. A CME impact signature
was detected in the IMF at around 09/1000UT. This is likely due
to the late arrival of a CME first observed on 06-Jun. The peak
total interplanetary field strength (IMF, Bt) was 10 nT and the
north-south IMF component range (Bz) was +7 to -8 nT. The solar
wind is expected to remain around current levels on 10-Jun. An
increase is expected over 11-12 Jun due to high speed wind stream
effects from an equatorial coronal hole currently approaching
a geoeffective position.

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.

Date Ap Conditions

12 Jun 25 G1, chance of G2
COMMENT: G0 geomagnetic conditions were observed in the Australian
region and at the planetary level on UT day 09-Jun. Mostly G0
geomagnetic conditions were observed in the Antarctic region,
with G2 conditions observed at Mawson. G0 geomagnetic conditions
are expected on 10-Jun. G1 conditions, with a chance of G2 are
expected over 11-12 Jun due to high speed wind stream effects
from a coronal hole currently rotating towards a geoeffective
location.

COMMENT: HF radio propagation conditions on UT day 09-Jun were
mostly normal, with some degradations in the northern hemisphere.
HF radio propagation conditions are expected to be mostly normal
on 10-Jun, with mild degradations possible over 11-12 Jun if
geomagnetic activity eventuates following the arrival of a coronal
hole high speed wind stream on 11-Jun.

COMMENT: ASWFC Preliminary HF Communications Warning 53 was issued
on 6 June and is current for 8-10 Jun. Maximum usable frequencies
(MUFs) in the Australian region were near predicted monthly values.
Spread F was observed at Hobart and Canberra during local night
hours. MUFs are expected to be mostly near predicted monthly
values over 10-12 Jun, with a chance of depressions on 11-12
Jun if geomagnetic activity eventuates following the arrival
of a coronal hole high speed wind stream on 11-Jun.
