Consider the following 2 plots. These graphs are the same, but the light blue line on the graph to the right is showing that the baseline for the Solar Maximum (about 80) is lower than the baseline for the solar minimum (about 120). How many events at high magnitude (around 800 single-bit upsets/day) would be needed to cause the Solar Maximum baseline to move from 80 to about 100? The answer should be obviously greater than 2 (because that's how many are shown) but it should be less than 2000.
