In this paper we investigate the physical processes that lead to the growth and decay of magnetic flux in and near sunspots.

An initial phase of rapid growth is characterized by the emergence of magnetic flux from the deep convection zone. As the flux rope rises through the surface the magnetic field is swept to the junctions of the supergranular network where sunspots are formed. These flux concentrations follow the footpoints of the emergent flux rope as they rapidly move apart.
