Seasonal Variation of 5577 å Line Emission At Calcutta and its Variation with Different Solar Parameters

The paper presents the variation of 5577 Å line intensity with relative sunspot number, and 10.7 cm solar flux. The study has obtained the following important results.[(i)] The 5577 Å line intensity at Calcutta is plotted against relative sunspot number, and the variable component of 10.7 cm solar flux during 1984–1985, which is the secondary peak of the descending phase of the 21st solar cycle. The intensity curves show periodic variation with different solar parameters.[(ii)] The 5577 Å line intensity at Mt. Abu also shows periodic variation with solar parameters during the period 1965–1968 when there was a peak phase of the 20th solar cycle.[(iii)] A possible explanation for such variation is also presented.
