Predictions of Solar Cycle 24

By W. Pesnell. 2008

198 citations recorded by the source corpus.

A summary and analysis of more than 50 predictions of the amplitude of the upcoming Solar Cycle 24 is presented. All of the predictions were published before solar minimum and represent our efforts to anticipate solar maximum at ever-earlier epochs. The consistency of the predictions within their assigned categories is discussed. Estimates of the significance of the predictions, compared to the climatological average, are presented.

• NEW SOLAR EXTREME-ULTRAVIOLET IRRADIANCE OBSERVATIONS DURING FLARES (2011, result): “One difference between our sample and the data studied by the above references is that the Sun in 2010 was still very inactive and in a low cycle (Pesnell 2008), with few ARs and no large ones, while the earlier studies were based on events during the rise and maximum phases of the solar cycle.”
