Modern Maximum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
History of sunspot number observations showing the recent elevated activity.
The Modern Maximum refers to the ongoing period of relatively high solar activity that began circa 1900.[1] This period is a natural example of solar variation, and one of many that are known from proxy records of past solar variability. The Modern Maximum reached a double peak once in the 1950s and again during the 1990s.
