Abstract

A stable cyclicity of correlation coefficients K corr for some solar activity indices versus F 10.7 was found after monthly averages values analysis. These indices are: Wolf numbers, 10.7 cm radio flux F 10.7, 0.1–0.8 nm background, the total solar irradiance (TSI), Mg II UV-index (280 nm core to wing ratio) and monthly flare count/10. The correlation coefficients of the linear regression of these solar indices versus F 10.7 were analyzed for every year in solar cycles 21, 22 and unusual cycle 23. We found out that the values of yearly determined correlation coefficients K corr for solar activity indices versus F 10.7 show the cyclic variations with stable period closed to half length of 11-year cycle.
