abstract = "For the sunspot cycles in the modern era (cycle 10 to the
present), the ratio of R (Z)(max)/R (Z)(36th month) equals 1.26
+/- 0.22, where R (Z)(max) is the maximum amplitude of the sunspot
cycle using smoothed monthly mean sunspot number and R (Z)(36th
month) is the smoothed monthly mean sunspot number 36 months after
cycle minimum. For the current sunspot cycle 24, the 36th month
following the cycle minimum occurred in November 2011, measuring
61.1. Hence, cycle 24 likely will have a maximum amplitude of
about 77.0 +/- 13.4 (the one-sigma prediction interval), a value
well below the average R (Z)(max) for the modern era sunspot
cycles (about 119.7 +/- 39.5).",
