Historical Evidence of a Link between Asymmetry in Solar Activity and a Displacement of the Neutral Sheet

Abstract

Data from four solar activity cycles (two solar magnetic cycles) from 1930 to 1967 are presented to support the hypothesis that when there is excess activity on one hemisphere of the sun, the heliospheric neutral sheet is displaced (on average) away from that more active hemisphere. Solar cycle, Solar activity, Interplanetary medium, Interplanetary neutral sheet, Sunspots.
