Abstract

Time-latitudinal distributions of the solar-surface magnetic fields and the green corona (530.3 nm, Fe XIV) intensities in the period 1975 – 2004 are analyzed. Meridional migration maps show that time-varying components consist of both the poleward and equatorward belts over a solar cycle. The green-corona maps are, for the first time, directly compared with magnetic flux charts, yielding a good association between the green corona and magnetic fields; this is most reliably seen at high latitudes.
