Constructing Solar Flare Events By Computer

A computer program has been developed which processes and groups individual observations of solar flares which describe the same feature. From each group of observations a consolidated description of the flare 'event' is produced. The report details the methods by which these groups are formed and the subsequent consolidated descriptions achieved. (Author).

Shortwave fadeout durations are compared with associated solar flare characteristics and other features of the solar regions in which the flares occur. Statistical tests show that flare parameters, especially flare importance, have the highest correlations with shortwave fadeout duration. Most other active region features, such as plage area, also show some correlation, but to varying lesser degrees. Cross tabulations of the shortwave fadeout durations and optical features are presented and discussed relative to their use as operational space forecasting aids. (Author).
