From an analysis of Stokes parameter profiles measured in a unipolar sunspot, properties of its large-scale magnetic field structure have been derived. With due allowance for our present knowledge about the Wilson effect and the height of line formation, an expression for the field strength distribu

β¦ Synopsis
A self-contained summary of the generalized Unno theory of LTE line formation in solar magnetic fields and its application to the numerical computation of Stokes parameter profiles is given. Within this context, computational details of general interest are described and numerical results for sunspot fields are given. Finally, a new method of computing the height of line formation is presented.
