- Title
Changes of solar magnetic asymmetry.

- Abstract
The results of an analysis of the north-south asymmetry in solar activity and solar magnetic fields are reported. The analysis is based on solar mean magnetic field and solar polar magnetic field time series, 1975-2015 (http://wso.stanford.edu), and the Greenwich sunspot data, 1875-2015 (http://solarscience.msfc.nasa.gov/greenwch.shtml). A long-term cycle (small-scale magnetic fields, toroidal component) of ~140 years is identified in the north-south asymmetry in solar activity by analyzing the cumulative sum of the time series for the north-south asymmetry in the area of sunspots. A comparative analysis of the variations in the cumulative sums of the time series composed of the daily values of the sun's global magnetic field and in the asymmetry of the daily sunspot data over the time interval 1975-2015 shows that the photospheric large-scale magnetic fields may also have a similar long-term cycle. The variations in the asymmetry of large-scale and small-scale solar magnetic fields (sunspot area) are in sync until 2005.5 and in antiphase since then.
