Extended time series of Solar Activity Indices (ESAI) is database including observational, synthetic and simulated sets to study Solar magnetic field variations and their influence on the Earth. ESAI extend the ordinary lengths of some traditional indices of solar activity: sunspot areas, Wolf numbers (equatorial component of magnetic field of the Sun), polar faculae numbers (polar component), mean latitudes, N-S asymmetry of hemispheres (location of activity). Series . ...
