โฆ Synopsis
A comparison of EUV data from the Harvard College Observatory experiment on OSO-6 with photospheric magnetograms from Kitt Peak National Observatory indicates a bipartite relationship between values of the longitudinal field strength B and Mg x intensity I averaged over square areas 35" โข 35": in quiet regions IB/~ I s, where 0.0<~ k< 0.3, and in active regions IB[ "~ I. From these relationships we infer that ]B[ ~ ne 2~ in quiet regions and ]B[ ~ ne 2 in active regions. In addition, the photospheric field beneath a coronal hole is found to be virtually identical to that beneath normal quiet regions.
