Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues to be at a very low level since the last message.
Target region NOAA 12965 was the source of a C1.0 (at 03/17/19:06 UT,
being the largest event) and two high B-class flares in the past 24 hours.
12965 has decayed to a beta/F-type region, significantly decreasing in the
number of spots. Additional C-class activities are expected with a light
chance of a low M-class flare in the next few days.
The position of NOAA 12965 on March 18 at 08:30 UT is:
N24W49 (666", 461")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has been at a low level since the last message.
The largest event of the period was a C1.2 at 03/17/01:36 UT
produced by the target region NOAA 12965. 12965 also produced
several B-class flares. It retains a beta-gamma/F-type configuration
but appears to enter the decay phase. Further C-class activities are
expected still with a chance of a low M-class flare in the next few days.
The position of NOAA 12965 on March 17 at 08:30 UT is:

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues to be at a moderate level. The target region
NOAA 12965 was the source of two low M-class flares (an M1.4 at
03/15/12:33 UT and an M1.5 at 03/15/22:39 UT), five C-class flares,
and also five B-class flares. 12965 retains a beta-gamma/F-type
configuration while decreasing in the sunspot area. It continues
showing mixed polarities in both of its leading and trailing portions.
Further low M-class flares are likely and More C-class flares are
expected in the next few days.
The position of NOAA 12965 on March 16 at 16:30 UT is:

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has been at a moderate level since the last message.
The largest event of the period was an M2.0 at 03/14/08:29 UT
produced by the target region NOAA 12965. 12965 also produced
six C-class flares. This region was re-classified as a beta-gamma/
F-type configuration. More C-class activities are expected with a
chance of additional low M-class flare in the following 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12965 on March 15 at 04:30 UT is:

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues to be at a low level. The largest event since the
last message was a C3.9 flare at 03/13/23:24 UT produced by the region
NOAA 12966 that has rotated over the west limb. The target region NOAA
12965 produced a C1.3 and a C2.1 flare just today. It shows signals of
decay and has been classified as a beta/F-type region. Further C-class
activities are expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12965 on March 14 at 04:30 UT is:
N24E06 (-92", 500")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. Target region NOAA 12964 has now
rotated over the South West limb, producing a foot-point occulted
B8.7 flare on 13-Mar-2022 at 09:54 UT. The only region to produce
C-class flares since the last message was spotless NOAA 12962 (the
largest being a C4.9 flare on 13-Mar-2022 at 03:12 UT). The target
returns to NOAA 12965, which has shown signs of redistribution and
flux emergence to now be classified as a beta-gamma/F-type sunspot
group. C-class flares are possible in the following 24-hour period.
The position of NOAA 12965 on 13-Mar-2022 at 20:00 UT is:
N23E11 , ( -173", 485" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is moderate. Target region NOAA 12965 has
grown slightly since the last message, but it remains classified as a
beta/E-type sunspot group. NOAA 12965 produced several C-class flares,
while decaying NOAA 12964 also produced several C-class flares and the
largest flare of the period - an M2.2 on 12-Mar-2022 at 22:13 UT. NOAA
12964 is currently approaching the South West limb, but it becomes the
target region for the next 24 hours. More C-class activity is expected
over the next 24 hours, with a small chance for another M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 12964 on 12-Mar-2022 at 22:30 UT is:
S28W80 , ( 840", -431" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. Target region NOAA 12965 has
been stable since the last message and remains classified as a
beta/E-type sunspot group. NOAA 12962 produced a long-duration
C2.8 flare on 10-Mar-2022 at 18:15 UT that was the largest in
the period. 12965 was also flare-productive, being the source
of three low C-class flares. More C-class flares are expected
in the following 24-hour period, with a small chance for a low
M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 12965 on 11-Mar-2022 at 20:30 UT is:
N23E36 , ( -523", 466" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 12965 has now
rotated fully onto the visible disk and it has been re-designated as
a beta/E-type sunspot group. Most of the spotted regions on disk have
remained flare quiet, with NOAA 12965 producing the largest flare of
the period in the form of a B7.7 on 10-Mar-2022 at 09:18 UT. C-class
activity is expected over the next 24 hours, with a small chance for
a low M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 12965 on 10-Mar-2022 at 20:00 UT is:
N23E49 , ( -674", 448" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. The target region has now been
numbered as NOAA 12965 and is designated as a beta/D-type sunspot
group. This region appears to have some small intermediate spots,
but it remains too close to the limb to accurately assign magnetic
classification based on these. NOAA 12965 has continued producing
B-class flares since the last message, as well as two C1.0 flares
(the largest of the period) on 9-Mar-2022 at 07:49 and 12:42 UT.
More C-class activity is expected in the following 24-hour period,
with a chance for a low M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 12965 on 9-Mar-2022 at 21:30 UT is:
N22E63 , ( -802", 410" )
