“…Further, recent revisions of sunspot number based on historical documents require us to re-evaluate the solar activity for a longer time span (Clette and Lefevre, 2016;Vaquero et al, 2016). Thaddäus Derfflinger's sunspot observations during 1802-1824, The Astrophysical Journal, doi: 10.3847/1538-4357/ab65c9 et al, 2007Arlt, 2008Arlt, , 2009Arlt, , 2018Hayakawa et al, 2018aHayakawa et al, , 2018bCarrasco et al, 2015Carrasco et al, , 2016Carrasco et al, , 2018Carrasco et al, , 2019bDenig and McVaugh, 2017), remove apparent continuous spotless days (Vaquero, 2007;Vaquero et al, 2016), and revise observations based on modern viewpoints (Vaquero et al, 2016;Svalgaard, 2017;Hayakawa et al, 2018d;Arlt et al, 2013Arlt et al, , 2016Fujiyama et al, 2019;Karoff et al, 2019;Jørgensen et al, 2019;Pevtsov et al 2019). Based on these revisions, a long-term variation of solar activity was evaluated utilising multiple methodologies (Svalgaard and Schatten, 2016;Usoskin et al, 2016;Clette and Lefevre, 2016;Chatzistergos et al, 2017).…”
