Solar Differential Rotation of Compact Magnetic Elements and Polarity Reversal of the Sun
Abstract
The differential rotation of the compact elements of the large-scale magnetic fields is studied using Solar Synoptic Charts (1966-1986). It is revealed that compact magnetic elements with the similar polarity of the polar magnetic field of the Sun have a larger rotation rate than the elements with the opposite polarity at all stages in the cycle.
