Spatial and temporal evolution of coronal dimmings and flare ribbons. Top: area newly occupied by coronal dimmings (color coded according to time) during individual episodes: (a) the C4.5 flare and a subsequent (flare-less) partial filament eruption (1 November 23:05–2 November 1:20 UT), (b) the early phase of the M1.6 flare (01:20–02:05 UT), (c) the impulsive phase of the M1.6 flare (02:05–02:40 UT), and (d) the early decay phase of the M1.7 flare (02:40–05:48 UT). The corresponding total area occupied by flare ribbons is outlined as a black contour. Bottom: cumulative dimming area (black) and instantaneous growth rate (green) as a function of time. The width of the time windows covered in (a)–(d) is indicated by dotted horizontal lines at the top axis in (e). Gray-shaded vertical bands mark the impulsive phases of flares.
