Most mature SUNSPOTS and some large SUNSPOT PORES are surrounded, at least in part, by a zone which is free of stationary magnetic field (e.g. PLAGE, network) and which exhibits a radially outward horizontal mass flow. This zone is called a sunspot `moat'. The most notable features in the moat are small magnetic structures of mixed polarity called moving magnetic features (MMFs). These are trans...
