MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

NOAA 1164 was the source of numerous C-class events and an isolated M1.1 event at 02/28/12:45 UT. As mentioned yesterday, the magnetic delta configuration has decayed but 1164 is maintaining a complex beta-gamma classification with an E-W magnetic inversion line in the leading polarity portion. C-class activity expected with another M-class event possible and a slight chance of an isolated event equal to or greater than M5.

The position of NOAA 1164 on February 28 at 12:30 UT is: N27E39 (Solar X = -544", Solar Y = 521")

See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Regards,
