Comparison of the distribution of maximum field strength in sunspots observed in cycles 23 and 24. The maximum of the two Gaussians for cycle 23 and 24 is at 2.68 and 2.60 kG, respectively. The dashed curve shows the distribution of the measured magnetic field strength in cycle 23 from 2003 until 2007 reported by Livingston et al. (2012).
