Uniting the Sun’s Hale magnetic cycle and “extended solar cycle” paradigms

Through meticulous daily observation of the Sun’s large-scale magnetic field the Wilcox Solar Observatory (WSO) has catalogued two magnetic (Hale) cycles of solar activity. Those two (∼22-year long) Hale cycles have yielded four (∼11-year long) sunspot cycles (numbers 21 through 24). Recent research...
