The general formalism presented in a previous paper of this series (Landi Degl'Innocenti, 1983a) is particularized to deduce the radiative transfer equations for polarized radiation and the statistical equilibrium equations for a multi-level atom in the Hanle effect, collisionless regime. The formul

โฆ Synopsis
A classification scheme is suggested for solar polarimetric observations in spectral lines originating both from magnetic and non-magnetic regions. A bidimensional diagram is introduced with an indicator of the magnetic field strength on its vertical axis and an indicator of the radiation field anisotropy on its horizontal axis. The diagram proves to be particularly suitable to sort out the relevant physical mechanisms playing an important role in the generation and transfer of polarized radiation for each single observation.
