From the near-zero values during the Maunder Minimum (1645-1715), the maxima Rz(max) of smoothed sunspot numbers reached values of ~140 by cycle 0-1 (~1750) and then had long-term fluctuations (high values for 3-5 cycles, followed by low values for 3-5 cycles, differing by as much as 50 units), on which random fluctuations were superposed. There is some indication of a ~100-year oscillation that might have peaked near cycle 20 at Rz(max) values near ~150. If this oscillation persists, the cycles in the next 50 years or so may have lower and lower R(max), perhaps dropping below 100, and recovering thereafter. The aa(min) values, and to a lesser degree, the Rz(min) values, are also expected to follow the same pattern.
