Different BMR populations considered in this work.

Population Abbreviation Magnetic flux
range [Mx]
Ephemeral regions, H93 ERs 3 × 1018 − 4 × 1020
Active regions, H93 ARs 4 × 1020 − 1 × 1023
All modelled regions AMR 2 × 1020 − 1 × 1023
Large magnetic regions LMR 3 × 1021 − 1 × 1023(a)
Small magnetic regions SMR 2 × 1020 − 3 × 1021(b)
Small scale emergences SSEs 1 × 1016 − 2 × 1020

Notes. H93 refers to the definition used by Harvey (1993), on whose observations we rely.

(a)

This also roughly corresponds to the smallest regions included in RGO/SOON sunspot group record.

(b)

This includes small ARs and the largest ERs.
