Recent magnetic observations to trace the history of a typical solar active region from birth to death. By comparing the short term motions to the long term spreading, it was demonstrated that the decay process was dominated by a random walk of field lines, with a diffusion constant of roughly 200 to 400 sq km.sec. The interaction between diffusion and differential rotation dictated the geometric pattern of the decaying region. The actual quantity of surviving flux was less, and its ultimate annihilation more thorough, than was expected.
