Solar Variability and Automated Analysis for Space Weather

This thesis explores solar variability and particularly the consistency and accuracy of its measurement over the period 1945-2015. Automated algorithms have been implemented to measure to measure sunspot number, area and classification and compared with manual reduction techniques. Parameters develo...

description This thesis explores solar variability and particularly the consistency and accuracy of its measurement over the period 1945-2015. Automated algorithms have been implemented to measure to measure sunspot number, area and classification and compared with manual reduction techniques. Parameters developed were then used to determine X-ray associations with regions. Automated Ha flare analysis was also developed.
