CORRELATION BETWEEN THE SUNSPOT NUMBERS AND GEOMAGNETIC PARAMETERS FOR THE SOLAR CYCLE-24

Purushottam Kumar, Achyut Pandeya

Abstract :

In this paper we have studied the correlation between the annual mean values of the sunspot numbers (RZ) and the annual mean values of the geomagnetic disturbance index–AP and Geomagnetic activity–KP indices for the selected period of 2007 to 2017, and shown to be positively correlated. The coefficient of correlation for sunspot number Vs geomagnetic disturbance index–AP is, r =0.355 and for sunspot number Vs geomagnetic activity index–KP is, r = 0.381, and we have concluded that if number of sunspots increases then geomagnetic disturbance level will be increased, and if number of sunspots decreases then geomagnetic disturbance level will be decreased.
