Solar cycle 24 continues the slump
Sunspot count is virtually unchanged from last month : It seems possible that we’ve seen the double peak, and it will be downhill after this.
Solar Cycle 24 Update
Guest essay by David Archibald Recently, a number of newspaper articles spoke of the potential of cycle 25 to be “Weakest Solar Cycle In Almost 200 Years”. “We’re in a…
The solar cycle is still slumping
It is looking more and more like a double sunspot peak for solar cycle 24. Sunspot count is down again: A similar drop occurred in radio flux.
February solar data shows the Sun to still be slumping – but NASA says 'twin peaks' may happen
The data from SWPC is in, and it is lethargic at best. Sunspot numbers took a hit, down to about 42, a delta of ~50 lower compared to the red…
Another regime change indication – this time in solar data
Note: See also the 1997 regime change in global climate data by the same method, here I’m happy to report that something I recognized and reported back in 2008 related…
The sun is still in a funk: sunspot numbers are dropping when they should be rising
The sunspot number for February from SIDC is down again, to 33.1 Here’s the source of that data: http://sidc.oma.be/DATA/monthssn.dat So far, cycle 24 is significantly lower in SSN number that…
Solar Cycle 24 Length and Its Consequences
Guest post by David Archibald Solar Cycle 24 is now three years old and predictions of the date of solar maximum have settled upon mid-2013. For example, Jan Janssens has…
Solar Max – So Soon?
Guest post by David Archibald Dr Svalgaard has an interesting annotation on his chart of solar parameters – “Welcome to solar max”: Graphic source: http://www.leif.org/research/TSI-SORCE-2008-now.png Could it be? It seems…
NASA's Sunspot Prediction Roller Coaster
Guest Posting by Ira Glickstein Santa brought us a new Sunspot prediction to be added to NASA’s incredibly high series of at least five ill-fated predictions starting in 2006. NASA’s…
