112. A possible explanation of the double peaks in solar cycles
109. How Many Active Regions Are Necessary to Predict the Solar Dipole Moment?
To assess the impact of active regions to the axial dipole moment, the authors isolate the contribution of individual regions for Cycles 21, 22, and 23 using a surface flux transport model, and find that although the top ~10% of contributors tend to define sudden large variations in the dipole moment, the cumulative contribution of many weaker regions cannot be ignored.
