Solar Magnetic Field and Sensitive Sun Model:
Electric currents inside the sun generate a magnetic field that spreads throughout the solar system. The field causes activity at the surface of the sun, surging and ebbing in a regular cycle. At the peak of the cycle, the polarity of the field flips, during a time of maximum sunspot activity.

The sun's magnetic field has two poles, like a bar magnet. The poles flip at the peak of the solar activity cycle, every 11 years. A solar wind composed of charged particles carries the magnetic field away from the sun’s surface and through the solar system.
SMF = Solar Magnetic Field
How SMF is generating, how to predict it?
Main used model for SMF generation/prediction is Solar Dynamo Model (SDM):
Popular dynamo models consider SMF as a results of plasma currents in Convection Zone.
The problems in their using were described in the article:The Future of Solar Cycle Forecasts
We created a new model SSM of Solar Magnetic Field generation.
SSM means Sensitive Sun Model.
It is based on assumption that Solar Magnetic Field generates by currents of plasma inside Sun's Core. Circulation is happen in the planes parallel to the solar equatorial plane. Centers of corresponding circles are on the axes of the Sun's rotation.
Speed of circulation is changing from zero to zero and in that times rotation changed its directon.
SMF is creating by those currents. If no rotation - no SMF. When Currents are changing direction, SMF also changing its direction
Solar Cycle is a process of changing of SMF from zero level to the next zero level
SSM requires much less memory and processor resources compare with dynamo models.
