Original Message UPDATE: POLE FLIP / QUADRUPOLE (AUGUST 2012)

The newest data from WSO has reduced the chances of a long term quadrupole scenario.

The above is a graph of unfiltered pole field strength measurements by WSO. Concern was aroused during 2011. The 2011 vernal equinox saw the Sun's north polar region weaken sufficiently to cross the polarity threshold in a convincing manner. That was fine and dandy.

However, the autumnal equinox saw the Sun's south polar region increase in strength. This caused the furor. Since the 2011 autumnal equinox there's been speculation about this strange behaviour as all waited to see what would happen next.

The new data has come in though, and as we steer into the 2012 autumnal equinox, the south has finally shown signs of weakening.

I would now say the chances of continued acute asymmetry are low. Chances of long term quadrupole are also now low. The south has begun to trend towards it's flip. The north continues to be well into it's flip and is impatiently waiting.

Here's the source data (mind you, the unfiltered data requires sufficient background competency to interpret)
