Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is moderate. NOAA 12002 has again grown in
spot area coverage over the past 24 hours and remains classified as a
beta-gamma-delta/E-type sunspot group. However, this region has become
flare quiet. NOAA 11996 has now rotated up to the North West limb and
was the source of the largest flare since the last email (an M1.2 flare
on 13-Mar-2014 at 19:03 UT). The MM#003 Major Flare Watch will remain
in effect for another 24 hours until 11996 rotates fully over the limb.
Further low M-class activity is possible over the next 24 hours, with a
chance for another isolated flare above the M5 level.

The position of NOAA 11996 on 13-Mar-2014 at 23:30 UT is:

N14W90, ( 936", 232" )
