Mausumi Dikpati
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mausumi Dikpati is a scientist at the High Altitude Observatory operated by the National Center for Atmospheric Research. She is the first person to predict, in March 2006, the strength and timing of the next solar cycle based on simulations of the physics of the solar interior. Dikpati's prediction in early 2006 is that the next solar cycle ('Cycle 24') will begin in late 2007 and be 30%-50% stronger than the previous cycle ('Cycle 23').
