Periodic Behavior of Selected Solar, Geomagnetic and Cosmic Activity Indices during Solar Cycle 24

In this study, we performed periodicity analyses of selected daily solar (flare index, coronal index, number of coronal mass ejections), geomagnetic (planetary equivalent range index, disturbance storm time index, interplanetary magnetic field) and cosmic ray indices for the last Solar Cycle 24 (fro...

description In this study, we performed periodicity analyses of selected daily solar (flare index, coronal index, number of coronal mass ejections), geomagnetic (planetary equivalent range index, disturbance storm time index, interplanetary magnetic field) and cosmic ray indices for the last Solar Cycle 24 (from December 2008 to December 2019). To study the periodic variation of the above-listed datasets, the following analysis methods were applied; multi-taper method, Morlet wavelet, cross-wavelet transform and wavelet coherence analysis. The outcome of our analyses revealed the following. (i) The 25–33 days solar rotation periodicities exist in all datasets without any exception in the MTM power spectra. (ii) Except for the solar rotation periodicity, all periods show data preference, and they appear around the investigated cycle’s maximum phase. (iii) When comparing the phase relations between periodicities in the used datasets, they exhibit a gradual transition from small to large periods. For short-term periodicities, there are no phase relations but a mixed phase, whereas for high periodicities, there are complete phase/antiphase transitions. (iv) All identified flare index periodicities are common to all other datasets examined in this investigation.
