The Norwegian Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Hi Spaceweatherlive Tried to email you, but you dont like hotmails, so... I noticed that your register over spotless days has been stuck on 112 days for about a week or so, even when the sun is as spotless as it gets!! Just want to let you now if you didnt already. Keep up the good work 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancanneyt Sander Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 hmm you're indeed correct. i'll dig in the code tonight to see what went wrong! Update: identified the issue, should auto-fix itself in one of the next days and shouldn't happen again 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher S. Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Whatever you did also fixed the tracking of the number of comments and recent activity in the forum, as seen from the main page of the website. Thank you for continued support of SWL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancanneyt Sander Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Yeah it was the whole module bar that had the same issue 😋 good thing you noticed it because we overlooked it (shame on me). It's now updated frequently and shouldn't happen again 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be an idea to have one Counter for the last 365 days. Then one would sooner see when a minimum is nearing the end? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancanneyt Sander Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Well since we're almost out of the minimum (who thought we would have seen an M flare in the minimum 😮 ), it should be usefull in 10 years again 😉 . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of your suggestion, we decided to actually add it and don't wait for another 10 years 😉. But instead of remembering each day what the number of the past day was we decided to give it a little 'trend' icon indicating if the number of spotless days is shrinking or not.The trend icon is updated daily based on the data of one year but the month before (not really a point to compare it with previous day wouldn't it). The number of days in this year has now a percentage so it's easier to know if that number is a lot or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there is an small error, it seems like the "2020 spotless days" is not counting days. Today, after 2 spotless days, it still on 124 days for 2020.

Today, after 2 spotless days, it still on 124 days for 2020. I think there are technically two sunspots, according to SWPC. You can see them here: http://www.solen.info/solar/ It could be that is why the bottom two numbers are the same, although the "Last 365 days" figure would then be incorrect. Edit: The table has updated, and appears completely fine. Check main page. Edited June 3, 2020 by Christopher S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancanneyt Sander Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 yesterday was spotless, the day before not (AR12764 on June 1st), so it was a plus one: 125 days in 2020 en last 365 days 125 days. PS: yes the table updates daily 😉 somewhere after 0h UTC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loustalet Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Has anyone ever tried to find a correlation between sunspots numbers and cloud coverage? Is there a place where the relevant data over extended periods of time would be available? On a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis. It would be fascinating to find such a correlation!

3gMike Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Hi Norwegian, I've been playing with sunspot files from SILSO. These images show the effect of recording number of spotless days in the last 365, 180, or 90 days. Day 1 on the charts is 1st January 2017 in all cases. Last day is 30th April 2020 The 180 and 90 day charts suggest to me that we probably passed minimum around mid December 2019 https://www.dropbox.com/s/usbw60nk7s7m40z/Spotless days_Cycle24to25.png?dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it can sure look like that now, but I do not feeling sure that it will look like that a year from now. From my research I see 2 potential times for sun minimum. October 2020, or August 2022. I see a very strong correlation between planet position and sunspots, and I also believe that this minimum will come in one of my 2 options above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can check out the work of the Danish astrophysicist, Henrik Svensmark. He has found strong correlation between solar minimum and cloudcover.
