โฆ Synopsis
Poleward migration of the magnetic neutral line on the Sun has been computed for the period 1904-1940 using synoptic charts based on Hot observations and the epochs of sign reversal of the solar magnetic field at latitudes 50 ~ to 90 ~ have been determined for this period. During the cycles 16 and 14, a threefold sign reversal took place in the northern and southern hemispheres, respectively. During all the cycles studied both the solar poles were of one polarity for a period ranging from 0.6 to 1.6 years. The poleward drift velocity of the neutral line varies from 4.2 to 8.2 m s-1. The apparent relation between the velocity of the filament bands when three bands are present with the bursts of solar activity is discussed.

It is a basic feature of the Babcock-Leighton model of the solar cycle that the polar fieId reversal is due to the diffusive decay and poleward drift of the active region fields. The flux from follower regions moves preferentially polewards in each hemisphere, where it cancels with, and then replace
Some theoretical difficulties confronting the current model of the polar magnetic reversal by cancellation with the flux remnants of decaying active regions are discussed. It is shown that the flux transport equation does not adequately describe the essential physical consequences of the transport o
Observations of the magnetic fields in the polar regions of the Sun are presented for the period 1960-1971. At the start of this interval the fields atthe two poles were consistently of opposite sign and averaged around 1 G. Early in 1961 the field in the south decreased suddenly and the field in th
