Circulating Current
images July 18-25th (report, 2007
July 25th)
Here is another compilation
showing the progress of the Circulating Current. Spots f and g have merged while
undergoing the U-turn at the STrD, before emerging on STBn. Spots h,i,j
are still entangled in the STrD today. All the spots appear grey when on
SEBs but slightly redder when on STBn. Many thanks to everyone who has
contributed.
Meanwhile in the northern hemisphere, it is amazing to see the strong reddish
colour. In images of modest resolution it covers everything from NEB to NNTB!
In hi-res images it is located on the NEB and NTB and a segment of NNTB, but the
zones between appear grey. This is clearly a sequel to the
violent NTB outbreak. The SEB may well turn similarly red next year, after
its revival is complete.
