Solar maximum or solar max is a normal period of greatest solar activity in the 11 year solar cycle of the Sun. During solar maximum, large numbers of sunspots appear and the sun's irradiance output grows by about 0.07%.he smoothed sunspot number has already reached 67 (in February 2012) due to the strong peak in late 2011 so the official maximum will be at least this high. The smoothed sunspot number has been flat over the last four months.
In the year 2000, the Sun is expected to peak in sunspot number and the related solar activity level. That means there should be lots of solar flares on the Sun's surface and the Earth should receive a number of geomagnetic storms as a result. In other words, this should be an exciting time to begin monitoring the Sun with radio receivers and magnetometers. When there is a solar flare on the Sun's surface, there is often an accompanying burst of radio energy projected into space. You can monitor these bursts with standard short wave and vhf receivers with modest antennas. The receiver should be able to detect AM (amplitude modulated) signals.
