F INDICATES THOSE OBSERVATORIES THAT REPORT OBSERVATIONS OF THE INDICATED FLARE EVENTS
- INDICATES THAT A CHECK OF THE DATA HAS CONFIRMED THAT THE FLARE EVENT WAS NOT OBSERVED
C INDICATES THOSE OBSERVATORIES THAT REPORT AR 8668 CONTEXT INFORMATION, SUCH AS MAGNETIC FIELDS AND IMAGES, ON THE UT DAY OF THE REPORTED FLARE EVENT.
