✦ Synopsis

A model of the large-scale magnetic field structure above the photosphere uses a Green's function solution to Maxwell's equations. Sources for the magnetic field are related to the observed photospheric field and to the field computed at a 'source' surface about 0.6 R G above the photosphere. The large-scale interplanetary magnetic field sector pattern is related to the field pattern at this 'source' surface. The model generates magnetic field patterns on the 'source' surface that compare well with interplanetary observations. Comparisons are shown with observations of the interplanetary magnetic field obtained by the IMP-3 satellite.

A long-standing misconception about the mathematical validity of utilizing Green's function solutions to coronal magnetic fields is discussed. Although this type of solution does not fit the observed line-of-sight component of the photospheric magnetic field, but rather the net flux in a region, the
