Abstract: We used four known chromospheric activity indicators to measure long-term activity variations in a sample of 23 M-dwarf stars from the HARPS planet search program. We compared the indices using weighted Pearson correlation coefficients and found that in general (i) the correlation between SCaI I and Na I is very strong and does not depend on the activity level of the stars, (ii) the correlation between our SCaI I and Hα seems to depend on the activity level of the stars, and (iii) there is no strong correlation between SCaI I and He I for these type of stars.
