An AR database that offers FDF and DOR would be valuable for understanding and predicting the solar cycle.

Our database shows similar trend of the time evolution of AR number, area, and unsigned flux in two cycles with other databases.

Wang et al. (2021): proposed a generalized method, which is equivalent to the surface flux transport model and provide a quick and precise quantification of an AR contribution to solar cycle evolution.

The distribution of DORs.
The DORs at the two end are all DORs bigger than the thresholds.
Overview of Our AR Database

CR number, label, latitude, longitude, area, flux
Initial dipole field, final dipole field, and DOR
(IDF, FDF, and DOR will be given in the website soon.)
Now:May 5th, 1996, to June 14th, 2023 (CRs 1909 - 2271),will be extended continuously
Total:2575 ARs ;
Cycle 23:1399 ;Cycle 24: 1176

For cycles 23 and 24:
The strength of number, area, and flux for weak ARs is weakly dependent on the cycle strength.
