Abstract: | The variation of the near 5-month period of sunspot numbers is discussed on the basis of the wavelet transform of the daily
sunspot number series in the 14th—22nd solar cycles. The result shows that the period exists in every cycle and its energy
density (amplitude) is comparatively large in the peak section of the cycle. In the distinct cycle, the length and intensity
of the period is different, which means that the period varies with time. The near 25-day period is also analyzed and it is
found to be timevariable and even not very stable in the peak section of the cycle. The variations of the two periods show
that the near 5-month period should not be simply regarded as the multiples of the near 25-day period. |
