Fig. 19. A comparison between the II order complexity measure Γs
11
(left axis − solid line), averaged over 37 Carrington’ solar rotations,
and the solar cycle measured in terms of the total hemispheric sunspot
coverage AT (right axis − dashed line and gray area). Note that Γs
11
complexity reaches a maximum for the solar maxima (Δ is minimum),
while the minima of the solar cycle correspond to more disordered and
less complex configurations (Δ → 1 and Γs
11 → 0).
