Description
The global behavior and fine structure of the distribution of sunspot
decay rates from activity cycle 13 to 20 are presented. It is shown that
the distribution of this parameter is lognormal. Statistically
significantly lower values of decay rates are found in cycles 13, 14,
and 18 for isolated spots. The complex groups had no appreciable
changes.
