Scientific paper

Because of the bimodal distribution of sunspot cycle periods, the Hale cycle (or double sunspot cycle) should show evidence of modulation between 20 and 24 yr, with the Hale cycle having an average length of about 22 yr. Indeed, such a modulation is observed. Rsum (the sum of monthly mean sunspot numbers over consecutively paired sunspot cycles) and RM, the maximum smoothed sunspot number are given for cycles 1 - 21 and estimated for cycles 22 and 23.
