Correlations between time intervals that separate special points in neighboring 11-year sunspot cycles

摘要

The correlations between series of lengths of intervals that separate special points of sunspot activity, which were determined by toroidal and poloidal magnetic fields in neighbor 11-year cycles, were studied. A high correlation is revealed between the series of lengths of intervals that separate special points of sunspot activity related to the toroidal field. A correlation was calculated between series of the lengths of intervals that separate axial dipole and octupole reversal time points in neighbor cycles. A correlation was revealed between series of the lengths of intervals that correspond to dipole (octupole) reversal time points and series of the lengths of intervals that correspond to special points of sunspot activity. Hence, features of the physical relationships between toroidal and poloidal fields in the current and next 11-year cycles were ascertained.
