Correlating Radio Emissions with Visible Emissions from Individual Solar Active Regions.

Abstract

Using a statistical regression model, a relationship was found between the area of solar active regions (bright in hydrogen-alpha. Lambda = 6562.8 A in the visible) and their 10.7 cm radio emission. Data used in this analysis were the brightness-area histograms obtained from the Solar Observing Optical Network (SOON) and daily drift scans obtained from the Algonquin Radio Observatory, Ottawa, Canada. This data, for the period 1 May through 16 July 1978, was used to develop the following relationship: Algonquin Scan Peak Value = .88782838 + .00025237604 (Calibrated SOON Area) with a correlation coefficient, r, of .88509. Future models for predicting the 10.7 cm solar flux are theorized based on the established relationship.
