Wilcox (1973) brings together a number of threads of information, all indicating that the solar magnetic field is essentially monopolar for a few months near solar minimum. (1) The photospheric field observed with the Mount Wilson magnetograph was predominantly directed away from the Sun during

Zirin (1972) contends that it is possible to deduce the chromospheric vector magnetic field from Ha filtergrams, and presents a number of'rules for deduction of the magnetic field'. I disagree with his general conclusion, and with several of his specific conclusions, or 'rules'. I have a paper in pr
Observations demonstrate a nearly 22-year periodic zonal flow superimposed on general solar differential rotation (LaBonte and Howard, 1982) and some meridional motions (e.g., Tuominen, Tuominen, and Kyrol~inen, 1983). Such flows can be excited by the magnetic wave generated by the dynamo in the sol
Magnetic buoyancy is thought to play an important role in the dynamical behavior of the Sun's magnetic field in the convection zone. Magnetic buoyancy is commonly thought to cause inescapable rapid loss of toroidal flux from much of the convection zone, thereby suppressing effective operation of a s
