Anomalous Active Region distribution. Top panel: Latitudinal distribution of anomalous ARs (both anti-Hale and anti-Joy regions) for solar cycle 18 (filled histogram) and solar cycle 19 (solid histogram). Bottom panel: Flux distribution of anomalous sunspots, with red filled and solid histograms representing the flux throughout the sunspot cycles 18 and 19, respectively. For clarity and better visualization, the x-axis in this panel is on a logarithmic scale.
