SOLAR MAGNETIC FIELDS
Abstract
A study was conducted of the correspondence of photospheric magnetic fields with structures and transient phenomena observed in the chromosphere. The primary data used were isogauss maps constructed from the Mt. Wilson daily, full disk magnetograms for the period 1959 through 1962, and three fine-scan magnetograms made on 6 July 1965. The H-alpha comparisons were made with the Lockheed H-alpha filtergrams. Supplementary data used were H-alpha and calcium films of the sun containing one Mt. Wilson spectroheliogram per day for the period July 1959 through December 1964. The first section describes in detail the correspondence between the fine-scan magnetograms and the high resolution filtergrams obtained on 6 July 1965. The second and third sections are largely statistical information about magnetic regions and their relationship to the occurrence of major flares.
