Abstract : Solar activity is asymmetric in the Northern and Southern hemisphere in almost all cycles. This asymmetry is observed both in cycle amplitude and period. We have used sunspot-area data from the Kodaikanal Solar Observatory to study the north–south asymmetry in sunspot activity. In this poster, we present the north-south asymmetry in each cycle, phase difference between the northern and southern hemispheric activity, Rieger-type periodicities and quasi-biennial oscillations.
