Flare forecasting using the evolution of McIntosh sunspot classifications

Flare forecasting using the evolution of McIntosh sunspot classifications

Most solar flares originate in sunspot groups, where magnetic field changes lead to energy build-up and release. However, few flare-forecasting methods use information of sunspot-group evolution, instead focusing on static point-in-time observations. Here, a new forecast method is presented based up...
