A Rotating Solar Magnetic 'Dipole' Observed 1926-1968.
Abstract
A recurring pattern with a period of 26 7/8 days observed in the polar geomagnetic field during 1926 to 1941 appears to persist in the interplanetary magnetic field polarity observed with spacecraft during 1963 to 1968. This suggests the existence of a rotating solar magnetic 'dipole' with a period of 26 7/8 days plus or minus 0.003 days. (Author)
