Summary of the effect of variation of sunspot paramters

The difference in the peak polar field in consecutive solar cycles varies with different parameters of BMRs as:

1. TILT ANGLE:

Standard tilt angle: 19 degrees (van Ballegooijen et al.)

2. SEPARATION:

Standard separation: Unknown

3. NO. OF SUNSPOTS PER CYLCLE:

Standard no. of sunspots per cycle: Unknown

Observations show the difference in the peak polar field to be around 20 Gauss. Now, several combinations of variations in these parameters can lead us to that difference.
