Abstract

The characterestics of solar wind parameters reveals the solar activity and variations. The relation between solar wind parameters and sunspot during 23 and 24 solar cycle maxima were analyzed in this paper. To determine the relation between of solar wind plasma parameters and sunspot , data from ACE and WIND spacecrafts and NOAA(National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrtion) were used. The solar wind parameters parameters such as solar wind velocity, density, temperature and magnetic field and sunspot during 23 and 24 solar maximum activity phase were analyzed. Both spacecrafts observe similar interconnection between solar wind parameters and sunspot in 24 and 23 solar cycle.
