Global Complexes of Activity
Abstract
A new concept of Global Complexes of Activity's on the Sun is presented, which brings together objects associated with both global and local fields in a single framework. Activity complexes have traditionally been identified purely from observations of active regions. We show here that a global complex also includes coronal holes and active regions. Our analysis is based on a large dataset on magnetic fields on various scales, SOHO/MDI observations of active regions and magnetic fields, and UV observations of coronal holes. It is shown that the evolution of coronal holes and active regions are parts of a single process. The relationships between the fields of different scales during the generation of the cycle is discussed.
