Here is an interesting plot which asks a very pertinent question about Solar cycle 24. Where is the cycle 24 [FeXIV] emission that usually reaches the Sun's pole around about the time of solar maximum? Is this an indicator that we still have a few years to wait till solar maximum or is it just telling us that cycle 24 will have a very weak maximum?
