A Fe XIV synoptic map which covers the November/December 1998 quadrature
days. The red segment gives the location, at photospheric levels, of
the plasma which is sampled at coronal levels by UVCS and, in situ, by
Ulysses experiments.  The large coronal hole, shown as white bordered
by black, which extends equatorward at heliographic longitudes 250 to 290
degrees, or, better, its superradial expansion, is the most likely
source of the dark plasma emission observed by UVCS in the first days
of the quadrature.  The bright active region, seen east of the coronal
hole, is at the base of the bright streamer imaged by UVCS at the end
of the quadrature campaign.
