Spotless days and geomagnetic index as the predictors of solar cycle 25

Dipali S. Burud,

Abstract: We study the sunspot activity in relation to spotless days (SLDs) during the descending phase of solar cycle 11-24 to predict the amplitude of sunspot cycle 25. For this purpose, in addition to SLD, we also use the geomagnetic activity (aa index) during the descending phase of a given cycle. A very strong correlation of the SLD (R=0.68) and aa index (R=0.86) during the descending phase of a given cycle with the maximum amplitude of next solar cycle has been estimated.The empirical relationship led us to deduce… Show more

“…Of course, we fully appreciate a possible role of other tracers that can possibly support the polar field data in the problem of the solar activity forecast, in particular, the geomagnetic index (the idea originated in Ohl and Ohl (1979) was exploited in the recent paper Burud et al (2021)).…”
