Fig. 2: Winding accumulation for AR11318.
From: Direct evidence that twisted flux tube emergence creates solar active regions
The emergence accumulation \({L}_{{{{{\rm{emerge}}}}}}\) (yellow line), the braiding accumulation \({L}_{{{{{{\rm{braid}}}}}}}\) (red line), and the total winding accumulation \(L={L}_{{{{{\rm{emerge}}}}}}+{L}_{{{{{\rm{braid}}}}}}\) (blue line) are displayed. The missing data are between t = 20 and t = 30 h. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
