A 20 year decline in solar photospheric magnetic fields: Inner-heliospheric signatures and possible implications

We report observations of a steady 20 year decline of solar photospheric fields at latitudes ≥45° starting from ∼1995. This prolonged and continuing decline, combined with the fact that cycle 24 is already past its peak, implies that magnetic fields are likely to continue to decline until ∼2020, the...
