Solar magnetic structure and the solar activity cycle. Review of observational data.
Abstract
Data on solar magnetism that may offer clues for understanding stellar magnetism in general were reviewed. Magnetic phenomena in the photosphere and low chromosphere, where the magnetic structure can be studied in detail, are discussed. Properties of the discrete magnetic elements and their extensions through the chromosphere and transition zone up to the corona are described. The structure and evolution of active regions and other structured aggregates of magnetic elements are considered.
