Super-posed epoch plots of sunspot and GCR measurements over solar polarity cycles (left) and solar cycles (right). Shaded areas show plus-and-minus one standard error in the mean. Data have been normalised to maximum/minimum values within each cycle. Polarity cycles in which the northern solar pole contains outward (inward) polarity magnetic flux, denoted qA < 0 (qA > 0), are shown in green (mauve). Odd- (even-) numbered solar cycles are shown in red (blue). (a) and (d) show sunspot number, (b) and (e) show neutron monitor counts from McMurdo, while (c) and (f) show ¹⁰Be concentration.
