The Evolution of the Large Scale Solar Magnetic Fields

Lead Investigator: Peter R. Wilson

Team Members: Yan Li

Technical Summary:
By studying the evolution of the polar magnetic fields, in particular the apparent motions and polarity distributions of magnetic features within these fields, we hope to contribute to an understanding of the solar dynamo processes. We will be particularly concerned to investigate the relation between the polar fields and the decay of the active region fields at lower latitudes.
