AbstractThe long-term variations in solar activity are studied using the dataset comprised of sunspot number and 14 C radioisotope timeseries. We use a novel S 200 index to identify possible past Grand Minima (GM). The Maunder, Oort, Wolf and Spörer Minima fall in phase with the minimum of S 200 index. We also show GM develop in clusters, with a separation of about 400–600years between individual GM. Extending these found similarities to modern solar activity, it is predicted that next grand solar minimum may occur in about 2090 ± 20 .
