“…It is important to investigate and reconstruct solar activity of the past as it provides fundamental input for several fields such as the solar dynamo theory (Charbonneau, 2010;Atlt and Weiss, 2014;Auguston et al, 2015;Hotta et al, 2016), the solar-terrestrial relationship (Lockwood, 2013;Hayakawa et al, 2018dHayakawa et al, , 2019b, space weather (Cliver and Dietrich, 2013;Hayakawa et al, 2017Hayakawa et al, , 2018cHayakawa et al, , 2019aToriumi et al, 2017Toriumi et al, , 2019, space climate (Hathaway and Wilson, 2004;Owens et al, 2011;Barnard et al, 2011;Usoskin et al, 2015;Hayakawa et al, 2019c;Pevtsov et al 2019), terrestrial climate change (Gray et al, 2010;Lockwood, 2012;Owens et al, 2017), and for predictions of upcoming solar cycles (Svalgaard et al, 2005;Petrovay, 2010;Iijima et al, 2017;Upton and Hathaway, 2018). Excluding the solar cycle of approximately 11 years, solar activity has longer-term variations such as grand minima and grand maxima Solanki and Krivova, 2004;Usoskin et al, 2007;Clette et al, 2014;Inceoglu et al, 2015;Muscheler et al, 2016;Usoskin, 2017).…”
