Panel a: hemispheric asymmetry in simulated polar flux (maxwells) during beginning of the nth cycle (“n” varying from 17 to 24) vs. asymmetry (obtained from dynamo simulation) in total sunspot area (in micro-hemispheres) during that cycle. Panel b: asymmetry in the total sunspot area during nth cycle as obtained from dynamo simulation is compared with observation. The associated Pearson’s correlation coefficients, along with the p-values, are mentioned.
