Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at a very low level. The largest event since the last message was a C3.4 flare at 00:47 UT produced by NOAA 14006 (N19W54) which has a beta/C-type configuration. 14006 was also the source of two C2 flares during the period. Please note that NOAA 14012 (S13E42) was the source of six low C-class flares including a C3.1. 14012 has been designated as a beta-gamma/D-type region. The target region NOAA 14007 was flare quiet over the past 24 hours but it has been designated as a beta-gamma-delta/D-type region, continuing to increase the sunspot area. Today we continue to watch NOAA 14007 for a further 24 hours. C-class flares are expected from various regions in the following 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14007 on March 4 at 08:30 UT is: S10W49 (720", -88")
