Aerospace | A cycle with an average length of 11.1 years but varying between about 7 and 17 years in the number and area of sunspots, as given by the relative sunspot number. This number rises from a minimum of 0 to 10 to a maximum of 50 to 140 about 4 years later, and then declines more slowly.An approximate 11-year cycle has been found or suggested in geomagnetism, frequency of aurora, and other ionospheric characteristics. The u-index of geomagnetic intensity variation shows one of the strongest known correlations to solar activity. Eleven-year cycles have been suggested for various tropospheric phenomena, but none of these has been substantiated. (references) |
Space | An irregular cycle, averaging about 11 years in length, during which the number of sunspots (and of their associated outbursts) rises and then drops again. Like the sunspots, the cycle is probably magnetic in nature, and the polar magnetic field of the Sun also reverses each solar cycle. (or solar cycle). (references) |
| The recurring, eleven year rise and fall in the number of sunspots. (references) | |
