Scientific paper

Solar flare activity during solar cycle 23 has been monitored very well by NOAA's X-ray sensors (XRS) on-board the GOES satellites. We examine flare occurrence rates and flare characteristics so far during the cycle. A key result is that the flare occurrences showed a lull in activity after the first apparent maximum in April 2000, but began to increase along with the smoothed sunspot number after April 2001. Indeed, in terms of the total numbers of flares, one could actually argue that solar maximum should be placed around the September-November 2001 time range, a possibility that is also reflected in the F10.7 cm Radio flux progression. Our analysis will discuss these issues and will also give consideration to possible distinguishing characteristics between those flares observed during the rise phase of the cycle and those that have been observed since the first apparent maximum of April 2000.
