Solar Indices Bulletin
Solar Indices Bulletin is a prompt monthly information product that is distributed
within two weeks after the observation month closes. For the month just ended, this
2-page circular tabulates daily values of sunspot numbers and 10.7 cm solar radio
flux observed at Penticton (previously at Ottawa); flux measurements at eight other
wavelengths are included. Page 2 of the Bulletin gives a table of smoothed monthly
mean sunspot numbers for the current solar cycle--a table that begins with smoothed
observed values for each month and ends with predictions.
