The time series describing the solar activity variations in the diverse solar layers are analyzed in terms of the developed method of the flicker-noise diagnostic which allows one to extract the dynamic characteristics of the process under study. The revealed results allow us to conclude that in all studied solar processes short term variations of the observational variables (with typical time less than ~3 years) reflect the behavior of some global dynamics. The dynamic characteristics turned out to be similar for the processes which are observed at the level of the solar photosphere and gradually changes in the solar atmosphere. That is why all Sun layers can be considered as a single dynamic system. We find that the short term variations of the solar neutrino capture rate are not random but are caused by some dynamic process. The analysis of solar total irradiance time series in terms of the applied method allows us to suggest that the mentioned dynamic processes exists in the solar core.
We have analyzed the total solar irradiance (TSI) and the spectral solar irradiance as ultraviolet emission (UV) in the wavelength range 115-180 nm, observed with the instruments TIM and SOLSTICE within the framework of SORCE (the solar radiation and climate experiment) during the long solar minimum between the 23rd and 24th cycles. The wavelet analysis reveals an increase in the magnetic flux in the latitudinal zone of the sunspot activity, accompanied with an increase in the TSI and UV on the surface rotation timescales of solar activity complexes. In-phase coherent structures between the midlatitude magnetic flux and TSI/UV appear when the long-lived complexes of the solar activity are present. These complexes, which are related to long-lived sources of magnetic fields under the photosphere, are maintained by magnetic fluxes reappearing in the same longitudinal regions. During the deep solar minimum (the period of the absence of sunspots), a coherent structure has been found, in which the phase between the integrated midlatitude magnetic flux is ahead of the total solar irradiance on the timescales of the surface rotation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
