SOLAR X-RAY MINIMUM
This figure shows the SXT full-sun signal through the AlMgMn filter for the
period around solar minimum. It appears that the x-ray minimum occurred in
the 23-31 May 1996 period. To smooth the curve I've rejected all points
more than 10% away from a 35 point running mean with the following program
call.
sxl_clip,dgflux(0,*),out,/keep,/verbose,width=35,level=0.1
This clipping resulted in rejection of about 15% of the 22116 samples --
including the very lowest ones in the May minimum.
The figure was prepared from the SXL database at the request of Bill
Wagner.
