โœฆ Synopsis

The Schatten and Sofia (1987) "dynamo theory' prediction for the amplitude of smoothed annual sunspot number in the present solar cycle, No. 22, of 170 + 25 was predicted to peak in 1990 + 1 year. This peak was earlier and larger than most other estimates made in early 1987. New observational evidence shows sunspot values rising very rapidly, generally supporting the 'exceptionally large' cycle predicted, however, solar cycle 22 appears even more exceptional than expected, in that the early cycle rise has exceeded all previous cycle increases. We use a 'SpOrer butterfly' method to examine solar cycle 22. We show from the latitude of active regions, that the cycle can now be

According to Parker's earlier articles in this journal the photospheric temperature is lower in sunspots than elsewhere because of increased outflow of mechanical energy, rather than inhibited inflow from the convective zone. In this case the atmosphere above the spot group receives an excess supply

Predicted values of some main indices of solar activity for the 21st solar cycle are given. The epoch of maximum of solar activity has been placed in 1980.8 + 0.1. The predicted peak values of the relative sunspot numbers published by other authors are also given.
