  • sunspot total area peak relative to sunspot number peak

    From David Dalton@21:1/5 to All on Sat Nov 5 11:30:41 2022
    I seem to recall that the peak in the total surface area
    of sunspots happens after the peak in sunspot number,
    so occurs on the right flank of the sunspot number plot.
    Is that the case?

    Ok David,
    what is your definition of a sunspot, of a group of sunspots ?
