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
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
