Correlation diagrams for the maxima of Φ_dipole during activity minima between cycles n − 1 and n from the SFT simulation vs. the maxima of the sunspot number of the the cycle preceding the minimum (n − 1, left panels) and of the subsequent cycle (n, right panels), respectively. Upper row: case without inflows; lower row: reference case with inflows. Numbers within symbols give the index, n, of the cycle following the respective activity minimum. Linear regressions are indicated by the dashed lines.
