Astronomy:Gnevyshev-Ohl rule
From HandWiki
The Gnevyshev-Ohl rule (GO) is an empirical rule according to which the sum of Wolf’s sunspot numbers over an odd cycle exceeds that of the preceding even cycle[1][2]—see the Figure. The rule breaks down under certain conditions.[3] In particular, it invertes the sign across the Dalton minimum, but can be restored with the "lost cycle" in the end of the 18th century.[4][5] The nature of the GO rule is still unclear.[2]
Illustration of the GO rule: Intensities of sunspot cycles in pairs of even (open circles) and odd (filled circles) numbered cycles.[4] The GO rule is expresses in the connecting lines pointing up. The break of the rule for cycles 2--3 and 4--5 is visible.
