More than a solar cycle of synoptic solar and coronal data: a video presentation.
Abstract
Color video movies of synoptic observations of the sun and corona can now be created. Individual analog frames on laser disc can be referenced digitally and played back at any speed. The authors have brought together photospheric magnetic field data from the Wilcox Solar Observatory at Standford and the National Solar Observatory, model computations of the coronal magnetic field, and coronal data from the Sacramento Peak coronagraph and the Mauna Loa K-coronameter and made a series of movies presenting the data sets individually and in comparison with one another. This paper presents a description of each of the data sets and movies developed thus far and briefly outlines some of the more interesting and obvious features observed when viewing the movies.
