Well Paul, and others, go to URL, and view
all the pages:

http://science.nasa.gov/ssl/pad/solar/sunspots.htm

In my papers, published online earlier, and in the
archives, I pointed out and as any knowledgable
cycle scientist knows, the circa 11 year cycle is
a half wave, and the full wave is circa 22 year.
In fact some years are as short as circa 17 years and
as long as circa 24, and the circa 22 is a statistical
average over many cycles.

The sunspot cycle is a measurement of the change in magnetic
polarity of sunspots on the sun: in one half-wave cycle they
are minus (-) and plus (+) in the magnetic loops leaping out
of the sun and returning in spiral loops on the northern
hemisphere; while plus (+) and minus (-) on the southern
hemisphere. This reverses in the next half-wave cycle.

Every circa 22 years, the polarity cycle returns to its
first half of the wave.
