I quote the whole paragraph here: «

Note that according to Leif's latest graph,
the solar magnetic field strengths have been increasing, since 2015 (when the cosmic ray measurements also began)
Not exact matches
He sketched the sunspot contours with scribble and crosshatch, intent mainly on mapping the locus (
solar latitude and longitude) of each
magnetic outburst and gauging the polarity and
field strength (in gauss) of every sunspot.
Both recent storms weakened Earth's
magnetic field after just minutes, according to
solar readings from satellites and
magnetic strength readings from ground sensors.
Additionally, as this NASA press release details, Juno's observations reveal that Jupiter's
magnetic field — already known to be the most intense in the
solar system — is even stronger than previously estimated, and uneven, with lumpy areas of relative
strength and weakness.
Measurements of the
strength of the
magnetic field along different directions in the lower
solar atmosphere are now being made with the Vector Spectromagnetograph (VSM) instrument of the Synoptic Optical Long - term Investigations of the Sun (SOLIS) synoptic facility of NSO.
Once Ulysses was in its scheduled orbit, it began observing the
solar wind and
magnetic field strength at high
solar latitudes, finding that the
solar wind from high latitudes was moving at about 750 km / s (slower than expected), and that there were large
magnetic waves emerging from high latitudes which scattered galactic cosmic rays.
According to the skeptics, the
solar irradiance isn't very important, it is the
strength of the sun's
magnetic field (that allows or stops cosmic rays from coming in which then causes more or less clouds, which increases or decreases the Earth's albedo, which then causes warming or cooling of the Earth's surface).
However, in the abstract of the Lockwood article it is stated that the
strength of the
solar magnetic field «has risen, on average, by an estimated 34 % since 1963 and by 140 % since 1900.»
Because of their speed, their large
magnetic field strength, and their often long - lived and strong southward
magnetic field component, many fast CMEs are highly geoeffective; that is, energy is transferred effectively between the
solar wind and Earth's magnetosphere through the process of
magnetic...

My question is this: the
solar polar
magnetic field strength is highest during minima of / between stronger
solar cycles?
Renown

The current Modern Warming will continue until the
solar magnetic field decreases in
strength.
20 and 21), and the attenuation level of cosmic rays in the heliosphere depends on the
strength and level of turbulence of
solar magnetic field and on the global structure of the heliosphere.

The most likely candidate for that climatic variable force that comes to mind is
solar variability (because I can think of no other force that can change or reverse in a different trend often enough, and quick enough to account for the historical climatic record) and the primary and secondary effects associated with this
solar variability which I feel are a significant player in glacial / inter-glacial cycles, counter climatic trends when taken into consideration with these factors which are, land / ocean arrangements, mean land elevation, mean
magnetic field strength of the earth (
magnetic excursions), the mean state of the climate (average global temperature), the initial state of the earth's climate (how close to interglacial - glacial threshold condition it is) the state of random terrestrial (violent volcanic eruption, or a random atmospheric circulation / oceanic pattern that feeds upon itself possibly) / extra terrestrial events (super-nova in vicinity of earth or a random impact) along with Milankovitch Cycles.
The reversal of
magnetic field strength from one
solar hemisphere to the other may have significant effects on cosmic ray modulation, for example.
We find that most of the
solar cycle variation in the total
solar irradiance can be accounted for by the absolute
magnetic field strength on the
solar disk, if
fields associated with dark and bright regions are considered separately.
Magnetic field indices derived from synoptic magnetograms of the Mt. Wilson Observatory, i.e.
Magnetic Plage
Strength Index (MPSI) and Mt. Wilson Sunspot Index (MWSI), are used to study the effects of surface magnetism on total
solar irradiance variability during
solar cycles 21, 22 and 23.
don't bother too much on SSN, rather look at the
solar polar
magnetic field strengths.
Just so you don't get confused with using the right terminology: When sunspots are high, the
solar polar
magnetic field strengths are low.
If the trend continues, the sun's
magnetic field strength will drop below a certain threshold and sunspots will largely disappear; the
field no longer will be strong enough to overcome such convective forces on the
solar surface.
GCRs are modulated by both
solar magnetic field, which is largely unpredictable in
strength except for generalities associated with 11 - year sunspot cycle and is also modulated by unpredictable events like nearby supernovas, and by more predictable very very long slow changes in intensity due to the
solar system traversing spiral arms of our galaxy and wandering above and below the galactic plane in cycles lasting tens and hundreds of millions of years.
