Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is low. NOAA region 12002 has continued to decay, decreasing further in spot area. This region has only produced one C-class flare in the last 24 hours (a C3.1 on 15-Mar-2014 at 00:20 UT). NOAA region 12003 has also shown signs of decay as it rotates up to the North West limb, decreasing marginally in spot area and number of spots. 12003 is classified as a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group and was the source of 5 C-class flares in the past 24 hours (the largest being a C6.1 flare on 15-Mar-2014 at 17:06 UT). More C-class activity is expected in the following 24 hours, with a chance for an isolated low M-class flare.

The position of NOAA 12003 on 15-Mar-2014 at 23:00 UT is:

N06W77, ( 934", 127" )
