Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2015 The solar cycle is reviewed. The 11-year cycle of solar activity is characterized by the rise and fall in the numbers and surface area of sunspots. A number of other solar activity indicators also vary in association with the sunspots including; the 10.7

Advances in Astronomy, 2012 The ~11-year solar cycle was first identified in the fluctuation of the number and location of sunspots and, soon after, their magnetic polarity and the dipole component of the Sun’s magnetism as a whole. The cycle is manifested in satellite records of total and variable solar luminosity, in the open solar magnetic flux, which can be estimated from ...

Observation-based Iterative Map for Solar Cycles. I. Nature of Solar Cycle Variability
The Astrophysical JournalIntercycle variations in the series of 11 yr solar activity cycles have a significant impact on both the space environment and climate. Whether solar cycle variability is dominated by deterministic chaos or stochastic perturbations remains an open ...

, 2020 In this chapter we discuss several methods for forecasting solar activity on different time scales. The solar radiation and particle emission influences on the space around Earth, the Earth’s magnetosphere, the Earth’s atmosphere, and can be harmful for satellites and manned spacecraft missions and disrupt communication systems.

, 2020 The Sun’s magnetic field drives the solar wind and produces space weather. It also acts as the prototype for an understanding of other stars and their planetary environments. Plasma motions in the solar interior provide the dynamo action that generates the solar magnetic field.

SOLAR CYCLE 25: ANOTHER MODERATE CYCLE? [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2016 ABSTRACT Surface flux transport simulations for the descending phase of Cycle 24 using random sources (emerging bipolar magnetic regions) with empirically determined scatter of their properties provide a prediction of the axial dipole moment during the upcoming activity minimum together with a realistic uncertainty range. The expectation
