Paper Summary

The SODA Index predicts the strength of Solar Cycle 25 by combining solar magnetic field and irradiance data. By analyzing past cycles, the Index estimates the next cycle's peak activity to be similar to Solar Cycle 24, with a peak expected around 2025. This method shows promise in forecasting solar activity as we approach the upcoming solar minimum.
