As the sun moves through its 11-year cycle, it experiences active and quiet periods known as the solar maximum and solar minimum.
While solar maximum can present itself in a host of different ways, a new study has found that microwaves emitted during the solar minimum have largely remained the same for more than half a century.
Astronomers in Japan have been continuously monitoring solar microwaves across four-frequencies since 1957. This began at the Toyokawa Branch of the Research Institute of Atmospherics, Nagoya University, and was later relocated in 1994 to the NAOj Nobeyama Campus. In a new study, researchers analyzed the solar microwave data collected during the telescopes six decade observation, revealing that the microwave intensities and spectra for solar minimum were the same every time in the last five cycles.
The solar maximums, however, varied in both intensity and spectrum from cycle to cycle.
Other than sunspot observations, uniform long-term observations are rare in solar astronomy, says lead researcher Masumi Shimojo.
It is very meaningful to discover a trend extending beyond a single solar cycle. This is an important step in understanding the creation and amplification of solar magnetic fields, which generate sunspots and other solar activity.

It’ll be interesting to see how man-made “climate change” has affected the sun and how only billions in new taxes will fix it.

Well, since most of the gulf coast was on the “bad” side...... We went to see what was left of Waveland. Not much that’s for sure. We left the area in ‘86 when transferred to Fl. Retired/laid off in Aug 2011 and headed west 3 weeks later. If it wasn’t for the humidity and love bugs..........

I got here in '86 - would have left when I retired fro the AF but my wife hates the cold and the best job offers were in cooler climes.
Love bugs stopped a while ago and I had a bottle of bug/tar remover in the carport to wipe them off so they wouldn't screw up the paint. The humidity and gnats make it so the Summer isn't really a good time to enjoy the outdoors.
The threat of hurricanes is just a "bonus".
