Role of observable nonlinearities in solar cycle modulation

M. Talafha, M. Nagy, A. Lemerle +1

Context. Two candidate mechanisms have recently been considered for the nonlinear modulation of solar cycle amplitudes. Tilt quenching (TQ) is a negative feedback between cycle amp…

The polar precursor method for solar cycle prediction: comparison of predictors and their temporal range

Pawan Kumar, Melinda Nagy, Alexandre Lemerle +2

The polar precursor method is widely considered to be the most robust physically motivated method to predict the amplitude of an upcoming solar cycle.It uses indicators of the magn…

Towards an algebraic method of solar cycle prediction II. Reducing the need for detailed input data with ARDoR

Melinda Nagy, Kristóf Petrovay, Alexandre Lemerle +1

An algebraic method for the reconstruction and potentially prediction of the solar dipole moment value at sunspot minimum (known to be a good predictor of the amplitude of the next…

Towards an algebraic method of solar cycle prediction I. Calculating the ultimate dipole contributions of individual active regions

Kristóf Petrovay, Melinda Nagy, Anthony R. Yeates

We discuss the potential use of an algebraic method to compute the value of the solar axial dipole moment at solar minimum, widely considered to be the most reliable precursor of t…

Impact of rogue active regions on hemispheric asymmetry

Melinda Nagy, Alexandre Lemerle, Paul Charbonneau

The solar dipole moment at activity minimum is a good predictor of the strength of the subsequent solar cycle. Through a systematic analysis using a state-of-the-art 22 D s…

Rogue active regions and the inherent unpredictability of the solar dynamo

K. Petrovay, M. Nagy

New developments in surface flux transport modeling and theory of flux transport dynamos have given rise to the notion that certain large active regions with anomalous properties (…
