Dear Collaborators,
There were two high C-class flares from the western limb since the
last message: a C9.2 flare from NOAA 12940 in the north and a C8.0
from the NOAA 12939/12944 complex in the south. The sunspots of NOAA
12939 are now beyond the western limb but the looptops shall remain
the target for a further 24 hours. Isolated C-class flare possible
before west limb passage.
The position of NOAA 12939 on 13-Feb-2022 at 08:30 UT is:
S22W88, ( 900", -366" )

Dear Collaborators,
NOAA 12939 near the southwest limb was the source of an M1.4 flare at
08:25 UT, as well as some low C-class activity. NOAA 12941 has
remained quiescent since the last message and has shown signs of
decay. Although the magnetic configuration of NOAA 12939 is unclear at
this time, it shall be the new target region for the next 24 hours.
Further C-level activity likely, with chance for another low M-flare
before west limb passage.
The position of NOAA 12939 on 12-Feb-2022 at 12:30 UT is:
S16W91, ( 933", -267" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has returned to low levels. There have been ~C1 events
from multiple regions across the disk since the last message,
including NOAA 12941. The region remains unchanged in terms of size
and complexity and shall continue as the target region. Only isolated
low-level events expected at this time.
The position of NOAA 12941 on 11-Feb-2022 at 12:30 UT is:
N24W22, ( 333", 489" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has increased to C-level since the last message with
several events emanating from NOAA 12941. However, the largest event
of the past 24 hours was a C5.7 flare from NOAA 12939. NOAA 12941 has
continued to increase in size but has decreased in complexity as it
has reverted back to a beta class region. It shall continue as the
target region with further B- and C-level activity possible.
The position of NOAA 12941 on 10-Feb-2022 at 12:30 UT is:
N24W12, ( 185", 494" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at low levels. The largest event since the last
message was a C5.1 flare from NOAA 12939 in the southwest quadrant at
21:29 UT yesterday, while the target region NOAA 12941 has continued
to produce B-level activity. NOAA 12941 has continued to develop and
is now classified as a beta-gamma region as it crosses the central
meridian. Further B-level activity expected with chance for some
C-class flares over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12941 on 9-Feb-2022 at 12:30 UT is:
N23E03, ( -47", 481" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has remained around the C1 level since the last
message. NOAA 12941 was the source of a C1.2 flare at 22:57 UT
yesterday. The region has undergone flux emergence in its core, but
retains its beta/E-type configuration. It shall continue as the target
region with low-level activity possible over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12941 on 8-Feb-2022 at 12:30 UT is:
N25E17, ( -258", 505" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has returned to C-level since the last message due to a
resurgence from NOAA 12936 currently behind the northwest limb. The
target region in the northeast quadrant, NOAA 12941, has remained
quiescent and unchanged, and retains its beta/E-type configuration. It
shall continue as the target region for a further 24 hours, although
only isolated low-level events are likely at this time.
The position of NOAA 12941 on 7-Feb-2022 at 12:30 UT is:
N24E28, ( -418", 482" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 12936
has now rotated its spots over the North West limb. Most of
the spotted regions on the visible disk have shown signs of
slight decay since the last message. The target switches to
NOAA 12941, a beta/E-type classified sunspot group that was
the source of four low C-class flares shortly after the last
message was issued. Further C-class activity is expected in
the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12941 on 6-Feb-2022 at 16:30 UT is:
N24E39 , ( -562", 471" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. Target region NOAA 12936
showed signs of decay but it has remained as a beta/E-type
sunspot classification. This region has continued to flare
since the last message, producing six low C-class flares
including the largest of the period (a C2.6 on 4-Feb-2022
at 21:42 UT). Although NOAA 12936 is now rotating over the
North West limb, it will remain the target for the next 24
hours while its high-lying loops remain visible. Additional
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 12936 on 5-Feb-2022 at 22:00 UT is:
N17W87 , ( 929", 288" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 12940
decayed slightly since the last message and has simplified in
magnetic classification to a beta/C-type sunspot group. This
region did not produce any flaring activity since the last
message, so the MMCO target switches back to NOAA 12936 as it
rotates up to the North West limb. NOAA 12936 has remained as
a beta/E-type sunspot classification but has increased in its
frequency of flaring to produce eight C-class flares over the
past 24 hours, including the largest of the period (a C5.8 on
4-Feb-2022 at 15:39 UT). Additional C-class activity is likely
in the next 24 hours, with a chance for a low M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 12936 on 4-Feb-2022 at 18:00 UT is:
N17W72 , ( 885", 315" )
