β¦ Synopsis
Analysis of the green line corona for the interval 1947-1970 suggests the existence of largescale organization of the emission. The green line emission at high northern latitudes ( ~ 40~ ~ is correlated with the emission at high southern latitudes 6, 15 and 24 days later, while the low latitude green corona seems to be correlated on both sides of the equator with no time lag. These coronal features are recurrent with a 27-day period at all latitudes between β’ 60 ~ and we associate these largescale structures with the solar magnetic sector structure. The high correlation between northern and southern high-latitude emission at 15 days time lag is explained as a signature of a two-sector structure, while four sectors are associated with the 6 and 24 day peaks.

The frequency curves of the GCLBR follow the solar cycle, but are displaced considerably relative to the curve of the sunspot number cycle. The observed displacement increases with t
Daily images of the white light corona between 3 and 10 R| have been recorded by a coronagraph aboard the OSO-7 unmanned satellite since October 3, 1971.
