7 Importance of Ca II K observations They provide an important measure of solar magnetic activity. In particular, solar magnetic plages and network are easily observed in this strong chromospheric line, at nm. Plages account for roughly one-half of the Sun s total magnetic flux and for most of the Sun s variability in UV flux. Ca II K observations started at the beginning of the 20th century at several observatories. These archives are of great importance for studies of the solar magnetism on time scales longer than the activity cycle.
8 Ca II K index time series Historical Data MWO-UCLA: 8/1915-7/1985 (to present via proxy) MWO-Tlatov: 8/1915-7/1985 MWO-Apn: 8/1915-7/1985 (to 4/1999 via proxy) Kodaikanal: Modern Data - Integrated Sunlight KPO (Bill Livingston): 10/ present SPO: 11/ present SOLIS-ISS: 12/ present Note: Most of these data and related information are available on line from the UCLA, NSO, and NOAA websites.

10 The historical MWO data set Starting in 1915 spectroheliograms in the light of the Ca II K line were taken twice per day at the Mount Wilson Solar Observatory. About the same time "white light" direct images were taken once per day. Approximately 45,000 images in the light of the Ca II K line, acquired from August 1915 to July Approximately 30,000 broad-band images (white light) acquired over the same time period. The spectroheliograms were first digitized by Foukal (1996) using a 512-pixel format, 8-bit camera. The same images were re-digitized (starting in 2003) at UCLA using a higher resolution ( ), 12-bit digitizer.
11 Distribution of MWO Ca II K images Number of images Year
12 The Sun on Ca II K: June 12, 1958
13 Historical Ca II K index time series MWO-UCLA: The index is derived from the properties of the intensity-ratio distribution of pixels across the image. The time series is extended using the MPSI as a proxy. MWO-Tlatov: The index is defined as the fraction of the solar hemisphere occupied by the chromospheric plages + active network at any given time. MWO-Apn: The index is defined as the percentage of the solar disk covered by plages + active network. The original time series was extended using NSO/SP data. Kodaikanal (KKL): Same as MWO-Tlatov. Spectral bandpass (centered on K3): 0.35 Å for MWO observations, and 0.5 Å for KKL and NSO/SP observations.
14 The MWO-UCLA Ca II K index 1 Each image is flat-fielded using a median filter. 2 A histogram is calculated using all pixels located within 0.99 solar radii from the center of the (flat-fielded) image. 3 A four-parameter Gaussian function is used to model this distribution: y(x) = A exp( u 2 /2) + B, where u = (x x c )/σ, x is the bin value, y is the fractional number of pixels in the solar disk with value x, σ and x c are the width and the center of the distribution, respectively (x c 1). 4 The constant baseline B is defined as the Ca II K index. 5 The parameter σ is related to the plage contrast.

29 Conclusions Overall there is a very good agreement among the different Ca II K index time series on time scales above one month. Some discrepancies are noticeable between the MWO and KKL data, particularly during cycle 18 and 19. The KPO and SPO 1-Å emission index time series show significant differences during the last three solar minima. Is data calibration a factor? Correlations between the Ca II K index time series and the ISN exceed 0.96 for all the yearly mean indices, and 0.92 for the monthly mean values. These correlations are slightly higher for modern data. During cycles 16 and 17 ISN underestimates the Ca II K by 30%.
