The north-south asymmetry of solar photospheric magnetic flux
Abstract
The north-south asymmetry of solar photospheric magnetic flux is studied during years 1978-2002, finding that it has been relative to the solar activity cycle and peaked about the time of solar minimum. The dominance of solar activity has started to shift during the solar maximum from the northern hemisphere to the southern one. And its periodicities have been also discussed in detail with the wavelet transform.
