“…2). This recent N-S asymmetry with a higher rotation rate in the north agrees with the results found for ALs, as determined from solar X-ray flares (Zhang et al 2008(Zhang et al , 2011aBai 2003), and with the results found for the rotation of H α filaments (Brajša et al 1997) and lowbrightness regions (Brajša et al 2000), but differs from the rotation found from magnetic flux (Song et al 2011), Doppler velocities (Hathaway et al 1996), and daily radio flux (Heristchi & Mouradian 2009). These differences may be, as discussed above, due to different methods, different time intervals, or real differences in rotation of features anchored at different depths in the solar atmosphere.…”
