09/01/2022 36 The official SESC sunspot number is computed according to the Wolf Sunspot Number formula
10/01/2022 38 R = k(10g + s),
11/01/2022 51 where g = the number of sunspot groups (regions),
12/01/2022 68 s = the total number of individual spots in all the groups
13/01/2022 11 k = a scaling factor that corrects for seeing conditions

by an effect comparable to the eddy current brake, forming areas of reduced surface temperature.
