Maximum value of the 13-month smoothed monthly total sunspot number in each sunspot cycle (Cycle 22, 23, and 24; diamond) and the predicted cycle amplitude in Cycle 25 (cross) as a function of the axial dipole moment at the previous minimum predicted from the magnetogram observed three years before the minimum. The least-square fit for Cycles 22, 23, and 24 that crosses the point of origin is shown as the dashed line. The correlation coefficient for Cycles 22, 23, and 24 is 0.99.
