SUN TRACKING BY THE MINITRACK NETWORK STATIONS
Abstract
DEVICES.) Meridian transits of the sun were recorded daily on a frequency of 108 Mc by the Minitrck network of stations. By comparing the position of the solar noise center, as found on the record, with the predicted position of the optical center, the displacement of the 108-Mc emisson point from the center of the solar disk is determined. A number of stations may track the sun simultaneously. Analysis of the data from these stations shows that in approximately 75 percent of all passes the polar coordinates of the noise center as observed by these widely separated stations are in good agreement.
