Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. Target region NOAA 13079 has developed some
intermediate spots since the last message, remaining classified as a beta/D-type
sunspot group. This region produced four C-class events since the last message,
including the largest magnitude flare of the period (a C5.3 on 14-Aug-2022 at
13:55 UT). Newly numbered region NOAA 13081 (also classified as a beta/D-type
sunspot group) was the other source of C-class flares in the period, with the
largest being a C4.4 on 13-Aug-2022 at 22:59 UT. However, the target remains
on NOAA 13079 due to its extensive flare history. Additional C-class
activity is
expected in the next 24 hours, with a chance for a low M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 13079 on 14-Aug-2022 at 15:30 UT is:
S11W34 , ( 521" , -269" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 13077 decayed slightly
since the last message, losing penumbra to become classified as a beta/B-type
sunspot group. This region has shown no activity in the period while frequent
C-class activity was produced by newly numbered NOAA 13079, including the
largest magnitude flares (a C6.8 and C6.7 both on 13- Aug-2022 at 07:14 UT
and 12:30 UT, respectfully). NOAA 13079 is classified as a beta/D-type sunspot
group and becomes the new target region. Further C-class activity is expected
over the following 24-hour period.
The position of NOAA 13079 on 13-Aug-2022 at 15:30 UT is:
S11W22 , ( 349" , -278" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. Target region NOAA 13077 has been fairly
stable in terms of spot area and number of spots, remaining classified
as a beta/C-type sunspot group. C-class activity has again occurred since
the last message with NOAA 13077 producing the largest magnitude event,
a C2.1 flare on 12-Aug-2022 at 10:07 UT. Additional C-class activity is
possible in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13077 on 12-Aug-2022 at 15:30 UT is:
S17W46 , ( 652", -347" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has increased slightly since the last message as the
target region in the southwest quadrant, NOAA 13077, produced two C1
flares. The region has remained unchanged in terms of size and
complexity and retains its beta/C-type configuration. It shall
continue as the target region with further low-level activity
possible.
The position of NOAA 13077 on 11-Aug-2022 at 19:30 UT is:
S15W35, ( 526", -328" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a very low level. The target region has now
been designated as NOAA 13077 and is classified as a beta/C-type
sunspot group. Only B-class activity has occurred since the last
message and all were located at the South West limb where region
NOAA 13068 recently departed. The target region will remain with
NOAA 13077. More B-class activity is expected over the following
24-hour period, with a chance for a low C-class flare.
The position of NOAA 13077 on 10-Aug-2022 at 15:00 UT is:
S17W17 , ( 269", -373" )
[NB: there was a typo in yesterday's target region coordinates, which
should have read as S18 rather than S08]

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is very low. All of the high-lying
coronal loops of target region NOAA 13068 have now rotated out
of Earth-view. Only two B-class flares occurred in the period
(a B7.9 and a B6.8 both on 8-Aug-2022 at 13:52 UT and 21:53 UT,
respectively) with NOAA 13074 being the source of both. A new
flux region began emerging approximately 24 hours ago and has
already formed small spots in both polarities close to central
meridian. This new, currently unnumbered region is the target
region. B-class flares are expected in the next 24 hours, with
a chance for a low C-class flare.
The approximate position of this region on 9-Aug-2022 at 12:00 UT is:
S08W01 , ( 18", -235" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. Target region NOAA 13068 was
designated as an alpha/H-type sunspot group at the beginning of
the UT day, but this classification is highly foreshortened due
to it rotating up to the South West limb. 13068 was the source
of the largest event in the period, a C1.6 flare on 7-Aug-2022
at 22:53 UT. Although 13068 has now rotated slightly over the
South West limb, this region continues to be the target for a
final 24 hours until its high-lying coronal loops can no longer
be seen. B-class activity is expected in the following 24-hour
period, with a chance for another C-class flare.
The limb position of NOAA 13068 on 8-Aug-2022 at 13:30 UT is:
S15W90 , ( 913", -243" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is very low. Target NOAA 13068 has
decayed slightly since the last message as it rotates up to the
South West limb, now being classified as a beta/C-type sunspot
group. This region continued to produce B-class activity, with
the largest flare in the period included (a B9.4 on 6-Aug-2022
at 22:53 UT). NOAA 13068 will continue as the target region for
a final 24 hours while it rotates over the limb. B-class flares
are expected in the next 24 hours, with a chance for a C-class
flare.
The position of NOAA 13068 on 7-Aug-2022 at 16:30 UT is:
S15W75 , ( 883", -269" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a very low level. Target region NOAA 13068
has continued to decay over the past 24 hours, and is now being
classified as a beta/D-type sunspot group. This region produced
B-class activity only. The new spot region to the south of NOAA
13072 has now been numbered as NOAA 13073 and is designated as
a beta/C-type sunspot group, but has remained flare quiet since
the last message. NOAA 13068 will continue as the target for a
further 24 hours. B-class flares are expected in the following
24-hour period, with a good chance for a C-class flare.
The position of NOAA 13068 on 6-Aug-2022 at 13:00 UT is:
S15W59 , ( 786", -294" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 13068 has
slightly decayed since the last message, but remains classified
as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group. This region has continued
producing C-class flares, totalling three events and the largest
being a C4.9 on 5-Aug-2022 at 06:29 UT. A new region has begun
emerging slightly south of yesterday's newly numbered NOAA 13072
(itself located slightly south east of NOAA 13068), with the new
unnumbered region already producing a C5.5 flare on 5-Aug-2022
at 05:56 UT that was the largest event in the period. The target
remains on NOAA 13068 due to its more extensive flaring history
and the complexity of the new unnumbered region being currently
unknown. Additional C-class activity is expected in the next 24
hours.
The position of NOAA 13068 on 5-Aug-2022 at 13:00 UT is:
S15W46 , ( 660", -311" )
