Title: Synoptic observations with the Coimbra spectroheliograph
Authors: Garcia, A.; Sobotka, M.; Klvaňa, M.; Bumba, V.
2011CoSka..41...69G    Altcode:
  Spectroheliograms in the Astronomical Observatory of the Coimbra
  University (Portugal) have been photographed in the spectral line of Ca
  II K continuously since 1926 and, since 1989, spectroheliograms in Hα
  have been photographed as well. Since 2007, all the spectroheliograms
  have been recorded using a CCD camera. Until July 2010, about 34 000
  observations in total were acquired in the spectral bands Ca II K3, Ca
  II K1, Hα, red continuum, and Hα Dopplergrams (since 2009), covering
  a period of 85 years (Ca II K3 line). We describe the characteristics
  of the photographic and digital spectroheliograms, the statistics of
  the observations, and the utilization of Coimbra spectroheliograms by
  the solar community.

Title: What affects the evolution of the
    eleven-year cycle of solar activity.
Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvaňa, M.
2010nspm.conf...64B    Altcode:
  In search for physical causes of the irregularities observed in the
  solar activity and magnetic field distributions across the Sun and in
  time we have this time focused on the study of the evolution of the last
  nineteen cycles (from No.5 to No.23). The cycles can be divided into
  a few types according to similariry in their time evolution. It turns
  out that for cycles of similar type we find similar distributions in
  space for planets like Venus and Earth, and Jupiter in particular, with
  Saturn also taking a certain part. In addition, the onset of activity of
  all cycles seems to be closely related to a certain position of Venus
  and Earth in the ecliptic. During the maximum phase of all cycles the
  relative angular separation of Venus with the Earth and Jupiter takes
  its minimal values (close to zero) while during every minimum phase
  it is close to 45°. As far as physics is concerned it seems so far
  that the key role is played by gravity although other forces and their
  fields can also assume certain roles.

Title: Spectroheliograms recorded using the new CCD camera in the
    OAUC, Coimbra, Portugal
Authors: Garcia, A.; Klvaňa, M.; Sobotka, M.; Bumba, V.
2010nspm.conf..206G    Altcode:
  Spectroheliograms in the OAUC (Coimbra, Portugal) have been
  photographed in the spectral line of Ca II continuously since 1926,
  and since 1990 spectroheliograms in H-alpha have been photographed as
  well. Since 2007, all the spectroheliograms are recorded using new CCD
  camera. Specifications of the camera, including the new optical scheme
  of the spectrograph, were presented in a previous paper (Klvana et al.,
  2006). On the data recorded in 2010 we demonstrate the good quality
  of spectroheliograms taken during standard observing conditions,
  influence of the clouds and the effects introduced by filtering.

Title: Dynamics of Active Regions Revealed by Tracking of Doppler
    Features
Authors: Švanda, M.; Sobotka, M.; Klvaňa, M.; Bumba, V.
2010ASSP...19..410S    Altcode: 2010mcia.conf..410S
  We investigate the large-scale horizontal dynamics of active regions in
  the 23rd solar cycle. The large-scale horizontal velocity fields were
  measured applying the local correlation tracking (LCT) algorithm to the
  processed high-cadence full-resolution full-disc MDI Dopplergrams. We
  performed the selection of NOAA active regions in the available dataset
  and followed their individual evolution in time. The statistical study
  of this sample gives us a unique opportunity to study the dynamics
  of active regions at various stages of their evolution. In few cases,
  we found behavior that is consistent with the dynamical disconnection
  of sunspots from the magnetic roots.

Title: Large-scale horizontal flows in the solar
    photosphere. II. Long-term behaviour and magnetic activity response
Authors: Švanda, M.; Klvaňa, M.; Sobotka, M.; Bumba, V.
2008A&A...477..285S    Altcode: 2007arXiv0710.2693S
  We have developed a method to map large-scale horizontal velocity
  fields in the solar photosphere. The method was developed, tuned, and
  calibrated using synthetic data. Now, we apply the method to the series
  of Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) Dopplergrams covering almost one
  solar cycle to generate the information about the long-term behaviour
  of surface flows. Our method clearly reproduces the widely accepted
  properties of mean flow field components, such as torsional oscillations
  and a pattern of meridional circulation. We also performed a period
  analysis, however due to the data series length and large gaps we did
  not detect any significant periods. The relation between the magnetic
  activity and the mean zonal motion is studied. We found evidence
  that the emergence of compact magnetic regions locally accelerates
  the rotation of the supergranular pattern in their vicinity and that
  the presence of magnetic fields generally decelerates the rotation in
  the equatorial region. Our results show that active regions in the
  equatorial region emerge, exhibiting a constant velocity (faster by
  60 ± 9 m s<SUP>-1</SUP> than the Carrington rate), suggesting that
  they emerge from the base of the surface radial shear at 0.95 R_⊙,
  disconnect from their magnetic roots, and slow down during their
  evolution.

Title: The Modernized Spectroheliograph at Coimbra
Authors: Klvaňa, M.; Garcia, A.; Bumba, V.
2007ASPC..368..549K    Altcode:
  Application of CCD chips in astronomical instruments constructed for
  the registration of measured data on a photographic emulsion brings
  some special issues. The problems increase, if we need to digitize the
  whole solar disk. The spectroheliograph of the Coimbra university has
  been constructed for registration of the full-disk spectroheliograms
  on a photographic emulsion. Its construction is mechanically highly
  precise. Among others, it perfectly compensates the spectral line
  curvature in such a way that the resulting monochromatic solar disk
  is without any deformation. The compensation requires an adjustment of
  the entrance and exit slits, which are both curved. <P />The fact that
  during the transition from the photographic to the CCD registration it
  was necessary to preserve the original function of data registration on
  a photographic emulsion brings a whole number of specific problems. It
  was necessary to change the parameters of the optical system, to remove
  brightness and shape deformations of the solar disk, originating from
  the recording medium change. In this paper we analyze the mentioned
  issues and we describe how to treat them. We also present alternative
  spectroheliograph usages, for example for measuring Doppler velocities.

Title: Regularities in the Distribution of Solar Magnetic Fields
Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvaňa, M.; Garcia, A.
2007ASPC..368..511B    Altcode:
  We examined the distribution and concentration of the solar magnetic
  fields from the Wilcox observatory synoptic charts for the whole
  period of their existence (May 1976 -- February 2006). We divided them
  into four latitudinal zones, studying the changes of their various
  structures, density, etc. These sets of maps demonstrate striking
  regularities in the photospheric magnetic field distribution with time,
  continuous existence of characteristic longitudes of magnetic field
  concentration and their longitudinal shift with three main rotational
  periods of 26.8, 28.2, and 27.14 days. They show formation of specific
  structures of background weaker fields, connected with the development
  of activity complexes, polarity alternation, etc. We mention the
  possible sources of found regularities in the solar activity modulation.

Title: Doppler Velocity Fields in Magnetic Structures and their
    Surroundings
Authors: Klvaňa, M.; Bumba, V.; Švanda, M.
2006CEAB...30...21K    Altcode:
  We demonstrate the effect of a velocity shift of photospheric velocity
  fields in regions filled by magnetic field compared to the velocity
  fields of non-magnetic regions surrounding them. We analyse this effect
  on five different types of measurements in the active region NOAA 8086
  obtained by SOLMAG (Ondřejov magnetograph) in four spectral lines
  on September 18, 1997. The mean value of the Doppler velocity field
  in regions filled by magnetic field shows a red-shift of 40--190 m
  s<SUP>-1</SUP> with respect to the neighbouring non-magnetic regions.

---------------------------------------------------------
Title: Temporal Changes of the Photospheric Velocity Fields
Authors: Klvaňa, M.; Švanda, M.; Bumba, V.
2005HvaOB..29...89K    Altcode:
  We analyse the influence of the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth and
  Jupiter on the Doppler velocity field in the solar photosphere, using
  the theory of tidal forces. We compare the measured Doppler velocity
  fields estimated in a zonal area along the solar equator with the
  results of the dynamical calculations. From this comparison it follows
  that we do not succeed to demonstrate the presence of a velocity field,
  caused by the tidal forces, in the measured data. If tidal waves in
  the solar photosphere do exist, they are lost in the noise and their
  horizontal velocity field probably will be under the limit of ±20
  m s^{-1}.

---------------------------------------------------------
Title: Do tidal waves exist in the solar photosphere?
Authors: Klvaňa, M.; Švanda, M.; Krivtsov, A.; Bumba, V.
2004HvaOB..28..157K    Altcode:
  The temporal coincidences between solar activity regularities and the
  motion of some planets show that there could exist a mutual physical
  relationship between both processes. One of the possible causal agents
  could be the action of the gravitational field. Although the altitude
  of planetary tidal waves on the Sun, following many authors, is of
  the order of only one millimetre, in the case of resonance it could be
  enlarged appreciably. Therefore, we decided to verify the possibility
  of detection of such waves in the solar atmosphere using the earlier
  developed dynamical theory of tidal waves. In this paper we present
  and discuss the preliminary results, obtained from the comparison
  of the velocity fields measured with the MDI instrument of the SOHO
  satellite and of the velocity fields of a tidal wave calculated on
  the basis of the dynamical theory.

---------------------------------------------------------
Title: Photospheric background Doppler velocity field during the
    development of active regions
Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvaňa, M.; Garcia, A.
2003ESASP.535...71B    Altcode: 2003iscs.symp...71B
  We investigate changes of the photospheric background Doppler velocity
  field, measured by a scanning photoelectric magnetograph during the
  development of several active regions. Our results demonstrate that
  the whole local system of an active region's magnetic and motion field
  represents some kind of disturbance of the semiregular motion patterns
  of the quiet photosphere which seem to have their physical background
  in the local strengthening of convection and the local concentration
  of the magnetic field. In such a local Doppler motion system, the
  positive (blue-shifted) Doppler motion elements are considerably
  diluted (with the exception of Evershed's positive motion areas and
  the active region's surroundings), while the negative (red-shifted)
  elements are strongly concentrated, parallel with the distribution
  of the local magnetic field. At the same time, they are cellularly
  organized. The circulation below an active region and its surroundings
  forms a complicated system of mutually related motions bound together
  by the magnetic field.

---------------------------------------------------------
Title: Photosphere velocity field generated by tidal forces
Authors: Krivtsov, A. M.; Klvana, M.; Bumba, V.
2003ESASP.535..121K    Altcode: 2003iscs.symp..121K
  However, our recent research shows correlation between the planets
  disposition and the solar activity. Analysis of the astronomical
  data invents the question about influence of the planetary-induced
  tides on the number and distribution of the active regions on the
  solar surface. In the presented work we are considering dynamical
  deformation of the solar sphere induced by the action of the planetary
  system. Influence of the tidal deformations on the photospherical
  velocity fields and their interaction with the active regions in the
  photosphere are studied.

Title: Cyclic changes of the solar global and local magnetic fields
    patterns
Authors: Bumba, V.
2003ESASP.535....3B    Altcode: 2003iscs.symp....3B
  Grouping tendency in the magnetic flux emergence in the solar
  photosphere; single local magnetic fields and complexes of
  activity. Relation of the local and background large-scale magnetic
  fields (global fields), dynamics of their evolution. Longitudinal
  distribution and sector structure in the solar magnetic fields. Magnetic
  field as a coupling factor of all layers of the solar atmosphere with
  the convective zone. Reflection of the solar magnetic field changes in
  the heliosphere. Regularities in the solar activity appearance. Local
  and global magnetic fields during different phases of the solar activity
  cycle, and variations in their longitudinal and latitudinal distribution
  with time. Characteristics of such changes, quasi-biennial oscillations,
  shorter-term periodicities in magnetic flux formation and solar rotation
  rate variations. Reflection of the solar magnetic field cyclic and
  short-term changes in the corona, in the heliospheric magnetic field
  distribution and in the variation of the solar wind characteristics.

---------------------------------------------------------
Title: Dynamics of motions in the quiet photosphere
Authors: Svanda, M.; Klvana, M.; Sobotka, M.; Bumba, V.
2003ESASP.535..149S    Altcode: 2003iscs.symp..149S
  We determine the vector velocity fields describing the plasma motions
  in the quiet solar photosphere, using the motions of the supergranular
  structures, obtained by the analysis of series of Doppler measurements
  of velocity fields of the whole solar disk. It turned out that
  the studied vector velocity fields can be submerged under the noise
  level, originating due to the strong variability of the supergranular
  structures during their life time. We describe the method we used for
  the suppressing of such noise, and we bring the criterions used by
  the election of free parameters. We demonstrate examples of obtained
  vector velocity fields and of the resulting motions of matter on the
  visible photospheric surface. We discuss different factors influencing
  the reproductivness of obtained results. We construct a graph of the
  dependence of the differential rotation on the heliographic latitude
  from the mean vector velocity field, we got for the solar disk without
  expressive magnetic fields.

Title: A CCD-based guiding and control system for solar telescopes
Authors: Klvaňa, M.; Bumba, V.; Sobotka, M.
2003AN....324..305K    Altcode:
  We describe a system for guiding and control of motion of solar
  telescopes based on a determination of the position of the full solar
  disk on a CCD chip. The system computes the position of the disk center
  and, according to the difference between the instantaneous and required
  positions, it controls the motion of the telescope to compensate the
  deviation. The instantaneous position of the disk center is the basic
  input for the telescope's guiding and coordinate system. Brightness
  inhomogeneities of the solar limb caused by clouds are checked in real
  time. The function of the system can be suspended automatically if the
  clouds degrade the accuracy of guiding. The system also makes possible
  to check the correct focus and to evaluate the image quality.

---------------------------------------------------------
Title: System of coordinates for solar telescopes
Authors: Klvaňa, M.; Bumba, V.; Sobotka, M.
2003HvaOB..27..205K    Altcode:
  A system of coordinates for a solar telescope, based on the principle of
  the CCD detection of the whole solar disk position, is described. The
  system evaluates the position of the solar disk center and from this
  position it calculates the coordinates of a point situated on the
  optical axis of the telescope. The method of cloudiness testing,
  as well as results of tests made, and algorithms for the coordinate
  calculation in six coordinate systems are demonstrated. The function of
  the system can be suspended automatically if the clouds would degrade
  the accuracy of guiding.

Title: Short-term solar activity regularities
Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvaňa, M.; Garcia, A.
2002ESASP.506..837B    Altcode: 2002svco.conf..837B; 2002ESPM...10..837B
  We study the regularities in the development of solar activity in the
  course of four cycles with the smallest activity (Nos. 13-16). On the
  daily sums of sunspot areas we investigate the frequency of occurrence
  and time intervals between the impulses of solar activity, and their
  clusters, recalling packages of coupled waves. We also study the
  real situation in activity on the solar surface. Most striking is
  the repetition, after many years, of long-lasting segments of daily
  area curves with the same time sequence and amplitude distribution of
  activity peaks, and their packages. The lengths of the time intervals
  between the peaks and minima of activity are clustered around several
  discrete values. The same regularities yield the correlation of the most
  characteristic packages of impulses with similarly formed features of
  the whole cycle. Searching for the reasons of the found regularities,
  we found certain indication of relation betwen the longitudinal
  distribution of solar activity and conjunctions of the first three
  planets of the solar system.

Title: Semi-empirical modelling of sunspots magnetic fields on the
    basis of radio astronomical and magnetographic observations
Authors: Kaltman, T. I.; Klvana, M.; Korzhavin, A. N.; Bumba, V.
2002ESASP.505..433K    Altcode: 2002IAUCo.188..433K; 2002solm.conf..433K
  A semi-empirical method to model spatial configurations of sunspot
  magnetic fields is presented and discussed. To calculate the strength
  and diversity of the magnetic fields in the chromosphere-corona
  transition region (CCTR), radio astronomy and magnetographic
  observations are used. Multifrequency radio observations with
  RATAN-600 allow to measure magnetic fields above sunspots using a
  method described in (Akhmedov, et al. 1982). Our model calculations
  confirm that the measured value is the maximum magnetic field of
  the sunspot at the height of the CCTR. Two-dimensional maps of the
  longitudinal component of sunspot magnetic fields at the photospheric
  level produced with Ondrejov magnetograph (Czech Republic) along with
  the magnetic field strength measured in the corona with RATAN-600 are
  used for calculations of the strength and diversity of the magnetic
  field and for the estimate of the height of the CCTR above sunspots.

Title: The depths of sunspot magnetic field sources calculated on
    the basis of magnetographic measurements in two spectral lines
Authors: Klvana, M.; Kaltman, T. I.; Bumba, V.
2002ESASP.505..449K    Altcode: 2002IAUCo.188..449K; 2002solm.conf..449K
  We present a method of determining the depth of the source of the
  magnetic field beneath a sunspot, based on semiempirical modelling and
  the use of a dipole model's magnetic field space configuration. The
  dipole approximation is applied to the longitudinal component of the
  magnetic field measured in spectral lines Fe I 5253.47 Å and Mg I
  5172.7 Å, formed at different heights of the solar atmosphere. We
  give the depths of magnetic field sources for several sunspots from
  active regions NOAA 9503, 9504, 9505 and 9506 observed on 21 June 2001,
  and comment on the results obtained.

---------------------------------------------------------
Title: Sunspot's magnetic and velocity field within the convective
    network
Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvana, M.; Garcia, A.
2002ESASP.505..365B    Altcode: 2002solm.conf..365B; 2002IAUCo.188..365B
  From 81 sets of photoelectric measurements of the line-of-sight velocity
  component in the Evershed effect of a regular sunspot, made during
  8 days with electronically enhanced sensitivity, we have estimated
  the main characteristics of the Evershed flow in the measured spot:
  the motion in the center of the spot is probably slightly upwards,
  it is then almost horizontal and finally, in its peripheral part,
  it is possibly slightly inclined below the solar surface. We draw
  attention to the existence of regular secondary structures of the
  Evershed effect, surrounding the primary effect and to the mutual
  unity of their motions. Together they form one physical entity, which
  fits the structure of the motion field of the surrounding magnetised
  photosphere well. But the whole active region's motion field represents
  the same kind of disturbance of the semiregular motion patterns of the
  quiet photosphere, in which the positive Doppler motion elements are
  considerably diluted and the negative elements strongly concentrated
  and organised. We also demonstrate the relationship of the distribution
  of the active region's magnetic and negative velocity fields with the
  emission patterns of the K3 Ca II and of the positive motion elements
  with the dark interiors of the same K3 Ca II supergranules.

Title: Impulses of solar activity
Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvana, M.; Garcia, Adriana
2002ESASP.477...83B    Altcode: 2002scsw.conf...83B
  We study the development of complexes of activity during the course
  of four cycles with the smallest activity (Nos. 13 - 16) for which we
  have the daily sums of sunspot areas, separately for the northern and
  southern hemisphere. The solar activity is characterized by isolated,
  suddenly appearing increases often regularly repeated in one, or
  simultaneously in both hemispheres. We refer to such sudden increases as
  "impulses of solar activity", which we can observe throughout the whole
  activity cycle, but best during periods of lower activity. We discuss
  the main characteristics of these impulses: the occurrence frequency,
  number, duration, etc. We draw attention to some regularities in
  their repetition

---------------------------------------------------------
Title: Rotation of the vector velocity field in a symmetric sunspot
Authors: Klvaňa, M.; Bumba, V.
2002ESASP.477..135K    Altcode: 2002scsw.conf..135K
  Vector velocity fields of some sunspots demonstrate anomalous
  effects. We describe briefly the method of vector velocity field
  computation from the measured Doppler velocities. We bring some examples
  of such anomalous velocity effects observed in the lines Fe I-5253.47
  and Mg I-5172.7 Å. The spatial structure of the observed phenomenon
  resembles a whirlpool effect.

Title: Reconstruction of the Telescopes HSFA1 and HSFA2
Authors: Klvaňa, M.; Sobotka, M.; Bumba, V.
2001AGM....18S1002K    Altcode:
  At present, two large horizontal solar telescopes with spectrographs,
  located at the Ondřejov Observatory, are undergoing an important
  reconstruction. The original designation of these two identical
  instruments will mostly be preserved. The telescope/spectrograph
  HSFA1 will continue to be used for the measurement of solar magnetic
  and velocity fields, while HSFA2 is in the process of rebuilding to a
  multichannel spectrograph equipped with CCD cameras. The reconstruction
  of the electronic control systems of both telescopes is the most
  important item. The up-to-date electronic equipment will enable a remote
  control of all functions of the instruments, will offer a large amount
  of automated procedures and should be resistent to the disturbances
  caused by atmospheric electricity. The whole telescope/spectrograph
  control system is designed to reduce and simplify the observer's work as
  much as possible. In this contribution we describe the characteristics
  of both reconstructed instruments and the basics of their control.

Title: The Role of the Magnetic Field in the Ascension of the 22nd
    and 23rd Cycles of Activity
Authors: Bumba, V.; Garcia, A.; Klvaňa, M.
2000SoPh..197..175B    Altcode:
  The first small active regions of the last two new cycles seem to be
  formed, in its very first, preparatory stage, close to the equator
  with uncertain magnetic orientation, and as secondary products at the
  periphery of equatorial `magnetic bubbles' of the new magnetic flux
  still belonging to the old cycle. At the real beginning of the new
  cycle, at the periphery of its higher-latitude `magnetic bubbles',
  the opposite applies to the secondary regions of the ending cycle. It
  seems that two modes of magnetic flux supply the visible layers of the
  photosphere during the cycle transition phase: the emergence of the
  magnetic flux from the depth of the convective zone, and the mutual
  interaction of the earlier emerging fluxes, or the action of the `local
  dynamo', giving rise to the new local magnetic field concentrations.

Title: Longitudinal Distribution of Solar Magnetic Fields and Activity
    During the Ending and Starting Periods of Activity Cycles
Authors: Bumba, V.; Garcia, A.; Klvaňa, M.
2000SoPh..196..403B    Altcode:
  Studying the appearance of active regions during periods of solar
  activity minima, we observed that the magnetic fields of active regions
  belonging to the old and new cycle were mutually related. This was
  the reason we decided to investigate the relation of the old and new
  cycle activity during the two last minima in more detail. We examined
  the distribution of both activities in heliographic longitude, because
  the patterns of such distribution change substantially during the time
  of the minimum, and we studied their relation to the distribution and
  development of the global (background) magnetic field. We observed that
  the active regions of the old and new cycles tended to concentrate
  in the same active longitudes. The sources of their magnetic fluxes
  seem to have the same heliographic longitude. The beginning of the new
  cycle activity, occurring at the very beginning to a very weak degree
  in the equatorial zone, and then proceeding to higher latitudes, occurs
  in the magnetic field remnants of the old cycle activity. During the
  transition phase, a relatively large number of small active regions
  is produced by both cycles.

Title: Regular and Anomalous Effects in the Magnetic and Velocity
    Fields of Symmetrical Sunspots
Authors: Klvana, M.; Bumba, V.; Kaltman, T.
2000HvaOB..24...97K    Altcode:
  In most cases, the photoelectric measurements of magnetic fields
  in sunspots with penumbrae demonstrate a classical, more or less
  homogeneous distribution of the magnetic and velocity fields. But there
  exist some interesting cases of anomalous effects, when in the area of a
  sunspot, both the magnetic, and velocity field become very complicated,
  and intricated magnetic and velocity structures, accompanied often by
  large gradients develop. On the basis of our experience with modelling
  vector fields in symmetrical sunspots (Klvana et al., 1998), we
  specify the regular and anomalous behavior of the measured longitudinal
  components of magnetic and velocity field vectors; from this we judge on
  the vector configuration of both fields. We demonstrate and analyse such
  anomalous effects on the leading spot of the active region NOAA 7981,
  measured in the spectral lines FeI 525.347 nm and MgI 517.27 nm. In
  the spectral continuum the spot appears to be more or less symmetric.

Title: Determination of the Velocity Vector Field in an Asymmetric
    Sunspot Based on Vector Magnetograph Measurements
Authors: Krivtsov, A. M.; Hofmann, A.; Staude, J.; Klvaña, M.;
   Bumba, V.
1999ASPC..184..108K    Altcode:
  A new method to determine the distribution of the full velocity
  vector in an asymmetric sunspot is presented. Measurements of the
  Doppler velocity and of the vector of the magnetic field are used as
  initial data for these calculations. The determination is subdivided
  into two stages: in a first step we obtain the distribution of the
  velocity projection onto the solar surface, and in the second step
  the orthogonal component of the velocity field is calculated. The
  resulting vector velocity field is in good agreement with the basic
  features of the siphon flow model of penumbral flux tubes.

Title: Photoelectrically measured Doppler motions in regular spots.
Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvaňa, M.
1999joso.proc..109B    Altcode:
  From many sets of photoelectric measurements of the line-of-sight
  velocity component in the Evershed effect of several regular sunspots,
  made with electronically enhanced sensitivity, the authors estimate the
  main characteristics of the Evershed flow in the measured spots. These
  results generally agree with the results of recent spectrographic
  studies. The authors also observe the changes with time of the
  velocity amplitudes and shapes of motion areas in the Evershed effect
  connected with five-minute and longer oscillations. They also mention
  some deviations of the Evershed flow from the generally accepted
  figure. They demonstrate the existence of regular secondary structures
  of the Evershed effect, surrounding the primary effect, which fits the
  structure of the motion field of the surrounding photosphere well. The
  authors take this as a demonstration of the close relation of the
  Evershed flow with the background photospheric Doppler motion network,
  reflecting convection as the physical background of the existence of
  the Evershed effect, but influenced by a strong magnetic field.

Title: Velocity structures in the quiet solar photosphere.
Authors: Klvaňa, M.; Bumba, V.; Krivtsov, A.
1999joso.proc..193K    Altcode:
  The authors have used a special method of measurement to separate the
  five-minute oscillations and the photospheric background velocity
  fields. In the present note they analyze both types of velocity
  structures in dependence on their distance from the solar disk
  center. It follows from their analysis that the vector velocity fields
  of the five-minute oscillations have an omnidirectional character,
  i.e. both the vertical and the horizontal components are equally
  engaged, whereas, in the background velocity fields, the horizontal
  component of the velocity vector seems to dominate conspicuously over
  the vertical component.

1998A&A...335.1077K    Altcode:
  A new method to determine the distribution of the full velocity
  vector in an asymmetric sunspot is presented. Measurements of the
  Doppler velocity and of the vector of the magnetic field are used as
  initial data for these calculations. The determination is subdivided
  into two stages: in a first step we obtain the distribution of the
  velocity projection onto the solar surface, and in the second step
  the orthogonal component of the velocity field is calculated. The
  method has been applied to a sunspot observed from two observatories
  over 7 days, that is at different positions on the solar disk and in
  different phases of its development. The resulting vector velocity
  field is in good agreement with the basic features of the siphon flow
  model of penumbral flux tubes. The velocities are directed outwards
  from the sunspot, and they have small values in the umbra and maximum
  values in the central part of the penumbra, while in the outer penumbra
  the velocities decrease rapidly. The vertical velocities are mainly
  localized at the umbral boundary (upflows) and at the outer parts of
  the penumbra (downflows).

Title: Interpreting the growth and destruction of a large
    long-duration solar active-region complex
Authors: Bumba, V.; Garcia, A.; Jordan, S.
1998A&A...329.1138B    Altcode:
  In a companion paper, we show that the large limb flare and coronal
  mass ejection of July 9, 1982, and other energetic events that followed
  through September 4, 1982, represent the final phase in the evolution
  of a large active-region complex (Jordan et al. 1997). In this paper,
  we review the long-duration evolution of this complex. We begin by
  showing that, before its final phase, new activity in the form of
  renewed flux continued to appear for nearly two years, progressively
  complicating the field topology. Observations suggest that the source
  of this flux rotated almost as a rigid body. Evidence is presented
  that, during the final phase of large-scale eruptions, either the
  connection with the underlying source of flux is broken, or the source
  itself has changed. After the flare and CME of September 4, 1982, the
  magnetic field topology of the entire complex was greatly simplified,
  and the area of former activity was replaced by a large coronal hole. We
  conclude that this evolution and destruction of a large long-duration
  active-region complex is a characteristic feature of how the global
  magnetic field of the Sun changes during the solar cycle.

Title: Interpreting the Large Limb Eruption of July 9, 1982
Authors: Jordan, Stuart; Garcia, Adriana; Bumba, Vaclav
1997SoPh..173..359J    Altcode:
  A time series of K3 spectroheliograms taken at the Coimbra Observatory
  exhibits an erupting loop on the east limb on July 9, 1982 in active
  region NOAA 3804. The Goddard SMM Hard X-Ray Burst Spectrometer
  (HXRBS) observations taken during this period reveal a hard X-ray flare
  occurring just before the loop eruption is observed, and SMS-GOES soft
  X-ray observations reveal a strong long-duration event (LDE) following
  the impulsive phase of the flare. A Solwind coronagram exhibits a
  powerful coronal mass ejection (CME) associated with the erupting
  loop. Hα flare and prominence observations as well as centimeter and
  decimeter radio observations of the event are also reviewed. A large,
  north-south-oriented quiescent prominence reported within the upper
  part of the CME expansion region may play a role in the eruption as
  well. The spatial and temporal correlations among these observations are
  examined in the light of two different current models for prominence
  eruption and CME activation: (1) The CME is triggered by the observed
  hard X-ray impulsive flare. (2) The CME is not triggered by a flare,
  and the observed soft X-ray flare is an LDE due to reconnection within
  the CME `bubble'. It is concluded that this event is probably of a
  `mixed' type that combines characteristics of models (1) and (2). The
  July 9 event is then compared to three other energetic CME and flare
  eruptions associated with the same active-region complex, all occurring
  in the period July 9 through September 4, 1982. It is noted that these
  four energetic events coincide with the final evolutionary phase of a
  long-lasting active-region complex, which is discussed in a companion
  paper (Bumba, Garcia, and Jordan, 1997). The paper concludes by
  addressing `the solar flare myth' controversy in the light of this work.

Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvaňa, M.
1997SoPh..173..111B    Altcode:
  An attempt is presented to explain the large difference in the
  intensity, frequency range and number of radio-activity events
  following the large flares in the two complex active regions of June
  1982 (NOAA 3763 and NOAA 3776). The topology of their local magnetic
  fields in relation to the global solar field is discussed as one of
  the main factors causing this effect. The development of a specific,
  magnetically bipolar `super-region' is described.

  We have compiled the results of our long-term studies of the
  local magnetic field and its activity development, derived from
  investigating sunspot group evolution, photoelectrically measured
  longitudinal magnetic and velocity fields, and measurements of
  sunspot proper motions. We estimate certain regularities according
  to which the magnetic and velocity fields, and photospheric, as well
  as chromospheric activities develop. We speculate about the physical
  background of such processes.

Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvana, M.; Kalman, B.
1996A&AS..118...35B    Altcode:
  We document the evolution of an additional magnetic flux in the
  photosphere of a fully developed sunspot group, we measure longitudinal
  magnetic field, line-of-sight motions, and proper motions of sunspots in
  the group during this process. We demonstrate the close correlation of
  magnetic field, Doppler and proper motion singularities with the area
  in which additional magnetic flux appears and the new penumbrae and
  umbrae develop. We discuss the probable reasons for this fact and for
  the region's weak flare activity. There exist in the group about eight
  sunspots with the Evershed effect, differing in form, in dependence
  on the history of development of the spot in which it is observed.

Title: The 1991 southern hemisphere complex of activity.
Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvana, M.; Kalman, B.; Garcia, A.
1996A&AS..117..291B    Altcode:
  We have investigated the development of a complex of activity which
  took place in the southern hemisphere of the Sun between July 1991
  and April 1992. The whole process culminated with the successive
  formation of two large active regions with sunspot groups NOAA 6850
  (September/October) and NOAA 6891 (October/November 1991), both
  having complicated magnetic fields, but the former without heavy flare
  activity. We observed the appearance of the individual active regions
  as the consequence of the development stage of large-scale magnetic
  fields in the given area of the solar surface, in connection with
  their longitudinal and latitudinal distribution. We have studied the
  dynamics of this development on magnetic synoptic charts, as well as
  on spectroheliograms taken in the K-line of ionized calcium. Our new
  observations confirm the regularities found earlier and connection
  of global and local developments with convection. We think that they
  could become a tool for solar activity prediction and that they could
  be used for comparative studies of stellar complexes of activity.

Authors: Jordan, S. D.; Garcia, A.; Bumba, V.
1996AAS...188.7009J    Altcode: 1996BAAS...28..939J
  An erupting prominence was observed on the East solar limb on July 9,
  1982 in a series of K3 spectroheliograms taken at the Solar Observatory
  in Coimbra. Events associated with this eruption were observed with
  the Hard X-ray Burst Spectrometer (HXRBS) on SMM and a number of other
  instruments on the ground and in space including the Solwind satellite,
  which observed an energetic coronal mass ejection (CME) during the
  same time-frame. An impulsive flare occurred about one hour before the
  rise-time of the soft X-ray long duration event (LDE) and the apparent
  rise-time of the CME. This extensive set of observations permitted
  a comparison of this complex flare-erupting prominence-CME-LDE with
  a model proposed by Hundhausen (1994, 'Coronal Mass Ejections,' in
  "The Many Faces of the Sun," Springer-Verlag). Both similarities and
  differences are noted. While the start of the CME almost certainly
  follows the impulsive flare, it cannot be concluded that the flare is
  the 'cause' of the CME. The importance of determining the relative rise-
  times for the CME and the LDE is underscored by this study. Two other
  energetic events from the same active region are also discussed. It
  is concluded that no one model for the phenomenon: flare-erupting
  prominence-CME-LDE is satisfactory, even for these three events.

1995SoPh..160..245B    Altcode:
  We discuss the problems connected with the measurements and
  evaluation of line-of-sight velocities, obtained with a scanning
  photoelectric magnetograph using a line-shifter with enhanced
  sensitivity. We bring arguments for the validity of the results of our
  photoelectric Doppler velocity recordings. We have found a network of
  cellularly shaped patterns in the distribution of photo-electrically
  measured line-of-sight motions, upflowing in the magnetically quiet
  (blue-shifted) and downflowing in magnetically active (red-shifted)
  areas of the photosphere, if the mean velocity level is estimated for
  a sufficiently large measured area. The features of both directions
  are mutually complementary. We demonstrate the effect of the shift of
  the reference zero velocity level on the topology of the line-of-sight
  velocity maps, and the dependence of this level on the size of the
  area from which it is estimated.

Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvana, M.; Sykora, J.
1995A&A...298..923B    Altcode:
  We correlate the evolution of coronal holes with the development of the
  large-scale distribution of solar magnetic fields during the years 1991
  and 1992. We see strong ties between the formation of coronal holes
  and the latest stages of evolution of complexes of activity, closely
  related to the regularities in the longitudinal distribution of solar
  magnetic fields. We also deduce that the evolution of a coronal hole is
  a global process, depending on the contemporary general stage of solar
  activity, in which the equatorial and polar holes are strongly bound
  together. We estimate the interrelations of coronal holes and their
  magnetic fields with magnetic fields of associated active regions, and
  also measure the values of the longitudinal magnetic flux. We have found
  a close relation of coronal holes to older active regions which results
  in the influence of the intensity and topology of the active region's
  magnetic field on the resulting configuration of the lines of force of
  the coronal hole's magnetic field, extending into interplanetary space.

  We present the results of a detailed study of evolution of photospheric
  features, longitudinal magnetic and velocity fields and proper motions
  of sunspots in one complex (NOAA 6850) and one simple (NOAA 6853)
  active region of September/October 1991, being part of a long-lasting
  complex of activity. We bring evidence of the changes of all the studied
  quantities with the sudden renewal and then subsequent weakening
  of magnetic activity in the larger group. We discuss the reasons
  why the complex delta-configuration group did not produced larger
  flares, assuming that the observed phase of the complex's development
  represented only a preparatory stage, which matured during the next
  disk passage. We underline the physical importance of the coincidence
  of magnetic field, line-of-sight and proper motion singularities with
  regions of the fastest changes of penumbral and umbral structures.

  Coimbra Astronomical Observatory are compared with the time-dependent
  latitudinal distribution of background solar magnetic fields and with
  the latitudinal shifts of boundaries of their polarities. We confirm
  that the sunspot groups are located near the zonal boundaries between
  the opposite polarities of the solar background magnetic field during
  different phases of the two recent consecutive cycles of activity. We
  demonstrate a probable connection between the increased number of
  groups and the commencement of poleward migration of zonal boundaries in
  both hemispheres. But the influence of the `dominant convective rolls'
  seems to he still unclear. A new problem of interrelation between the
  zonal and sector boundaries has also appeared.

Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvana, M.; Kalman, B.; Gyori, L.
1993A&A...276..193B    Altcode:
  On the basis of abundant observational data we have studied
  photo spheric evolution, changes in the longitudinal magnetic
  field distribution and magnetic fluxes in the large, complicated
  flare-active region NOAA 6659. Special attention was given to the study
  of the proper motions of its individual umbrae, and the tine-of-sight
  velocities in the whole region. All the observed changes are compared
  with the appearance of large, white-light flares. The development
  of this AR during three preceding and two following solar rotations
  is also mentioned. <P />The velocities of the spot displacements
  (varying mostly from about 10 to 100 s<SUP>-1</SUP> at the most),
  as well as their directions, are strongly influenced by the changes
  of magnetic activity and spot formation, and by disintegration of the
  group. These seem to coincide with the regions of the strong "reversed"
  line-of-sight motions. In these places the mutual orientations of
  the negative and positive velocity areas are "reversed", if compared
  with the Evershed effect flows, occupying the whole active region. <P
  />The mutual relations of these particular motions with the magnetic
  field topology and the close connections of flares there with are
  also discussed. Since the observed motions and magnetic fields may in
  certain areas of the studied AR mutually interact, we believe that
  local motions play a very significant role in its restructuring and
  possibly also in its flaring capacity.

  Earlier results concerning sympathetic flares - physically related

  situation in active regions with related flaring and with the history
  and dynamics of its development. We found observational evidence abou
  the reality of sympathetic flares, demonstrating also that active
  regions in which they appear are physically related through common
  dynamical elements in which the evolution of their magnetic fields
  goes parallel. Such a process may sometimes occupy a very large volume
  of the photosphere and we believe that it might be related to the
  large-scale convective motions.

Title: Solar Active Longitudes Recurring Every 28-29 Days. Acting
    Differently in Low and Higher Latitudes
Authors: Bumba, V.
1991BAICz..42..381B    Altcode:
  The existence of Active Longitudes (ALs) recurring every 28-29 days is
  briefly discussed. These Als develop at higher heliophysical latitudes
  in the same way as the 27-day ALs in the equatorial belt, but in this
  equatorial belt the slowly rotating ALs acts as a trigger mechanism
  of greater activity, especially when it crosses the 27-day AL.

  A high-quality white-light photograph of an umbra of a large complex
  spot was analyzed. Digital image processing methods were used. The
  extensively inhomogeneous structure of the umbra, related to the fast
  dynamics of development, displays many features (dark cores, bright
  dots, light bridge, etc.), intensities and temperatures which were
  studied in detail. In the dark cores a relatively low temperature was
  obtained. A relation between the intensity of the individual bright
  umbral dots and their dark surroundings was found.

Title: Is the recurrent enhanced geomagnetic activity preceding

Authors: Bumba, V.
1991BAICz..42..161B    Altcode:
  The author compares the new index of recurrence of enhanced geomagnetic
  activity with the latitudinal and longitudinal distribution of solar
  magnetic fields and prominences for the recent two eleven-year cycles
  of solar activity. It is demonstrated that the streamers of the solar
  wind causing the considerable enhancement and regularity in recurrences
  of large geomagnetic disturbances during the descending phase and
  before the end of an eleven-year cycle, are anchored into the system
  of magnetic fields formed by the fields of the old eleven-year cycle
  of solar activity.

Title: Low-latitude Active Longitudes on the Sun and in Interplanetary

Authors: Bumba, V.; Hejna, L.
1991BAICz..42...76B    Altcode:
  Following a short review of the history of the development of the active
  longitude concept, several graphs of the longitudinal distribution of
  various low-altitude phenomena of solar activity published by various
  authors were reprocessed. The inclinations of the active longitudes
  found were calculated. A summary picture of all these inclinations
  demonstrates the concentration of such active longitudes into two main
  directions. Two values of synodic rotation: 26.77 days and 27.16 days,
  corresponding to these two types of low-altitude active longitudes,
  rotating faster than Carrington's rotation. The summary graph of
  all active longitudes belonging to these two types shows that active
  longitudes of different activity phenomena and from different authors
  overlap to a relatively high degree and that they run at least through
  three eleven-year cycles. The first of these active longitudes moves
  around the whole sun in about 45-55 rotations and the second one in
  about 200 Carringtons' rotations.

  The last evolutionary stage of the magnetic cycle is examined on the
  basis of recent observations of polar faculae. It is concluded that
  polar faculae represent the final evolutionary stage of the magnetic
  cycle or a cycle of active-region formation sharply distinguished
  morphologically, dynamically, and probably physically from the new
  cycle.

Title: The new index of recurrence of high geomagnetic activity and

Authors: Bumba, V.; Heina, L.
1990Ge&Ae..30..669B    Altcode:
  A new index of the 27-day recurrence of large geomagnetic disturbances
  over the past 100 years are proposed and calculated. Time variations
  of this index are correlated with the latitudinal distribution of
  solar magnetic fields and prominences during cycles 20 and 21. It is
  suggested that the recurrence of high geomagnetic activity at the
  solar-activity decline phase is associated with solar-wind streams
  issuing from a specific solar global magnetic field configuration of
  the preceding 11-year cycle.

  Longitudinal-distribution graphs of different manifestations of
  solar activity are analyzed. The analysis shows the existence of two
  fundamental directions of active longitudes rotating faster than the
  Carrington revolution. The mean value of the synodic revolution of the
  first direction is 26.77 d while that of the second direction is 27.16
  d. It is suggested that both of these active longitudes are manifested
  in the two fundamental inclinations of the IMF sector boundaries
  demonstrated by Svalgaard and Wilcox and synodically rotating over
  26.84 and 27.14 d.

Authors: Bumba, V.; Hejna, L.; Rusin, V.; Rybansky, M.
1990Ap&SS.170...85B    Altcode:
  We have compared the latitudinal distributions of polar faculae, green
  coronal emission maxima, prominences and of a new index of enhanced
  geomagnetic recurrence with the distribution of magnetic fields during
  the cycles Nos. 20 and 21. We did not find a distinct high-latitude
  initial stage of an extended cycle in the corona, prominences and
  polar faculae distribution. On the contrary, it seems that the polar
  faculae and their following polarity magnetic fields represent the
  last evolutionary phase of a magnetic activity cycle lasting 15 17
  years. The enhanced recurrent geomagnetic activity seems to be related
  to the old cycle fields. All studied phenomena clearly display two
  types of latitudinal distribution: the polar belts, into which the old
  following polarity fields have been transported from the equatorial
  belt where both the polarities developin situ simultaneously, but in
  which the leading polarity fields only remain, crossing the equator
  during the minimum of activity, to play the same role on the opposite
  hemispheres in the new cycle.

Authors: Bumba, Vaclav; Rusin, Vojtech; Rybansky, Milan
1990SoPh..128..253B    Altcode: 1990IAUCo.121P.253B
  The interrelations of the latitudinal distribution of the coronal green
  emission maxima, maximal numbers and areas of prominences, magnetic
  fields, sunspots, and polar faculae in the 20th and 21st sunspot cycles
  have been investigated. It is again demonstrated how the behaviour of
  all studied data depends on their heliographic latitude. In the polar
  zone, well separated from the equatorial we observe following polarity
  magnetic fields transported only polewards, while the equatorial
  zone is occupied mostly by leading polarity fields, developed there,
  moving equatorwards, and crossing the equator to the other hemisphere
  with the new cycle during the minimum of sunspot activity.

    Distribution During an Extended Cycle of Activity
Authors: Bumba, V.; Rusin, V.; Rybansky, M.
1990BAICz..41..253B    Altcode:
  The latitudinal distribution of green corona emission maxima and the
  maximum frequency of prominence occurrence are presently related
  to the large-scale regularities in the latitudinal distribution
  of (1) magnetic fields, (2) polar faculae, and (3) sunspots. The
  existence of polar and equatorial main latitudinal zones in both solar
  hemispheres is demonstrated by observational data. The main magnetic
  patterns are underlined by the distribution of prominences and of
  green coronal emission maxima; the latter also seem to exhibit two
  different qualities in their latitudinal distribution, depending on
  the heliographic latitudes.

Title: A new index for the recurrence of high geomagnetic activity

Authors: Bumba, V.; Heina, L.
1990Ge&Ae..30..565B    Altcode:
  The authors propose and calculate a new index for the 27-day recurrence
  of large geomagnetic disturbances for the past 100 years. The time
  variation in this index is compared against the latitude distribution
  of solar-magnetic fields and prominences for cycles 20 and 21. They
  show that the solar-wind flows which lead to significant enhancement
  of large geomagnetic disturbances and the regular recurrence period of
  large geomagnetic disturbances during the decline in solar activity at
  the end of each 11-year solar cycle are correlated with the magnetic
  field in the preceding 11-year cycle.

Title: Active longitudes on the Sun and their reflection in

Authors: Bumba, V.; Heina, L.
1990Ge&Ae..30..465B    Altcode:
  Plots of the longitudinal distribution of various manifestations of
  solar activity according to the papers of a number of authors are
  analyzed. The slopes of the active longitudes found are calculated. A
  similar plot of these slopes reveals the existence of two main
  directions of active longitudes that rotate more rapidly than the
  Carrington rotation. The average value of the synodic rotation of
  the first direction is 26.77 days and of the second direction is
  27.16 days. A combined plot of all active longitudes shows that the
  active longitudes of various activity indices, and according to data of
  various authors, overlap to a definite extent and that both directions
  cross in the course of several 11-year cycles without interruption -
  the first with a step of 45 - 55 rotations, and the second with a
  step of 200 rotations of the Sun. Both these active longitudes have,
  their own reflection in the two main slopes of the sector boundaries
  of the IMF shown by Svalgaard and Wilcox and rotating synoptically in
  26.84 and 27.44 days.

  Four groups of solar active longitudes with different synodic rotation

  the longitudinal distribution of highly integrated Stanford magnetic

  An analysis of a high-resolution white-light photograph of an umbra of a

  were used. The umbra was observed as a very inhomogeneous structure
  with large differences in intensities of the individual elements

  these elements were derived. It is demonstrated that the intensity
  of the individual bright umbral dots is related to the intensity of
  their dark surroundings.

Title: A Cumulative Method of Presentation of Solar Activity Secular

  A cumulative graphical method is presented for representing step-wise
  secular changes in the general trends of solar activity. The cumulative
  curve is divided into linear sections of several eleven-year cycles. The
  inclination of this curve is used to estimate the average value
  of solar relative numbers. The results are compared with previous
  results (Bumba and Hejan, 1988) concerning the secular changes 22-year
  periods. Observations covering almost five centuries are divided into
  four periods of high activity, two periods of low activity, and three
  or five periods of moderate activity. A table of these periods is
  given and the implications for geophysics are discussed.

Title: Some Problems Concerning the Regularities in the Development

Authors: Bumba, V.; Hejna, L.
1988BAICz..39..363B    Altcode:
  From the comparison of several modes of time development of the
  latitudinal distribution of solar magnetic fields, obtained by different
  authors using different basic observational material and different
  methods, the authors have obtained the following results: at high solar
  latitudes (|φ| ⪆ 40°) all distributions agree irrespective of the
  method of construction. In zones of activity around the solar equator,
  there is a qualitatively good but quantitatively poor agreement of the
  integrated, directly observed fields (from Mt. Wilson Observatory) and
  of the highly integrated fields derived from Hα synoptic charts. The
  areas covered by the positive and negative polarities on the whole
  Sun during the investigated one and half solar cycles (No. 20 and 21)
  are practically equal.

Title: Geophysical consequences of solar magnetic field global
    distribution and changes
Authors: Bumba, V.
1988bang.iafcQ....B    Altcode:
  Two special cumulative graphical methods are used here to demonstrate
  the 22-year periodicity and the secular changes of solar activity
  during the last five centuries. The 22-year activity changes are
  related to large-scale regularities in the latitudinal and longitudinal
  distribution of magnetic fields and activity on the whole solar surface
  and to their reflections in interplanetary space. Fast, short-duration
  changes in the field and activity distribution are studied, and it is
  shown that practically every significant maximum in the flare frequency
  is accompanied by a redistribution of the solar global magnetic fields,
  followed by the reorganization of field sector structure and rebuilding
  of coronal holes. This global magnetic field reorganization and maximum
  occurrence of solar flares is related to the discrete magnetic flux
  supply into the solar atmosphere mostly in the form of large complexes
  of activity. The interplanetary and geophysical consequences of these
  variations are considered.

---------------------------------------------------------
Title: A Cumulative (Alternating) Method of Presentation of the
    Twenty Two-Year Periodicity of Solar Activity
Authors: Bumba, V.; Hejna, L.
1988BAICz..39..315B    Altcode:
  A cumulative method of graphically representing the 22-year periodicity
  of solar activity is presented which permits the 22-year waves of
  activity to be seen as basic elements of a cumulative curve of yearly
  means or observed relative numbers. The ascending branch of each wave
  represents the successively summed yearly means belonging to the even
  11-year cycles, while the descending branch represents yearly means
  belonging to the odd 11-year cycles successively subtracted from the
  above values. The method is used to investigate the mutual relations
  of the individual 11-year cycles forming one 22-year cycle as well as
  the secular changes in these relations. The length of the periods of
  secular activity changes using the method of the correlation periodogram
  is addressed.

Title: What is a "Centre of Magnetic Activity"
Authors: Bumba, V.
1988BAICz..39..129B    Altcode:
  The development of a characteristic magnetic field situation in the
  center of sunspot groups is studied using the CSSAR observational data
  set (Michard, 1968) concerning longitudinal magnetic field component
  maps. It is found that a strong source of radio-emission may be formed
  above the inner sector boundary. The frequencies and importances of
  flares closely related to this area are proportional to the degree of
  complexity of its magnetic field topology. The possible reasons for
  the development of this center of magnetic activity are discussed.

Title: Formation of the White-light Flare Region of April 1984
    (NOAA 4474) within the 21st Cycle of Solar Activity
Authors: Bumba, V.; Geztelyi, L.
1988BAICz..39...86B    Altcode:
  The principal behavior of local and background magnetic fields
  accompanying the formation of the white-light flare region of April
  1984, and the distribution of the fields on the solar surface during
  the two last submaxima of the 21st cycle of activity (from March 1983 to
  February 1985) are discussed. The large-scale activity of the fields is
  summarized. It is found that the main changes in the background field
  distribution on the time scale of rotations are caused by the almost
  rigid body Carrington rotation and by the influence of differential
  rotation on their weak remnants. It is suggested that the fields may
  be related to the very large elements of convection, and/or to the
  maxima of vorticity in the photospheric plasma flow.

1988BAICz..39....8B    Altcode:
  Published observational data on solar-flare activity in the period
  1965-1980 are analyzed statistically and related to changes in the
  magnetic active longitudes (MALs) identified and studied by Bumba and
  Hejna (1986). MALs are long strips of single-polarity fields which may
  persist for about 8-30 rotations and display internal structure. The
  data sets employed are briefly characterized, and the results are
  presented graphically. Flare maxima are found to correlate well with
  MAL disturbances, especially during the ascending phase of the solar
  cycle and with MALs of negative polarity. The possible implications of
  these findings for the interplanetary magnetic field and for theoretical
  models of flare generation are indicated.

Authors: Bumba, V.; Gesztelyi, L.
1988BAICz..39....1B    Altcode:
  In investigating the large-scale distribution changes of solar
  background magnetic field during a wide time interval around the
  formation of this very complex region, it is demonstrated that this
  development must be taken as part of a global process in the solar
  atmosphere. Complete reorganizations are seen in the magnetic active
  longitude patterns and the solar magnetic-field sector structure,
  clearly related to its maximum stage. It is also shown that, at
  the same time, restructuralization of coronal holes took place. The
  relation of large-scale cellularlike structures to this development
  is also studied. It is concluded that the formation of this strong
  white-light flare region was casually related to the rebuilding of
  the global solar magnetic field.

Title: Rotation of Individual Background Magnetic Field Components

Authors: Bumba, V.; Gesztelyi, L.
1987BAICz..38..351B    Altcode:
  In the present continuation of their study of processes related to the
  development of the white-light flare region of April 1984, the authors
  pay greater attention to the problem of rotation rates of certain
  components of the background magnetic field, constituting the main
  patterns of the weak as well as strong fields, from three points of
  view: as they are demonstrated by the distribution of chromospheric
  filaments, from point of view of the existence of so-called "pivot
  points" (Mouradian et al., 1987) and of the rotation of the strongest
  magnetic flux sources.

Title: Observation of Solar Differential Rotation with the Aid of
    Magnetic Tracers
Authors: Bumba, V.; Hejna, L.
1987SoPh..110..109B    Altcode:
  We tried to search for the manifestation of differential rotation in
  the distribution of weak remnants of magnetic fields measured with a
  very low resolution. We found that, during the periods of low solar
  activity and in parts of the solar photosphere with smaller density of
  new magnetic flux sources, it was possible to observe the distribution
  of magnetic tracers in the form of differential rotation parabolas
  which increase their curvature from one rotation to the next. The
  obtained differential rotation rates are not far from those given by
  highly averaged sunspot data or by the daily magnetic fields. The
  characteristic differential rotation parabolas as well as specific
  cellular-like features disturbing their smooth patterns are always
  formed from fields of one main polarity, the sign of which depends on
  the phase of the activity cycle.

Title: Does the large-scale solar magnetic field distribution really
    reflect the convective velocity fields?
Authors: Bumba, V.
1987SoPh..110...51B    Altcode:
  We have tried to decide whether the typical circular cellular-like
  features, which are striking during some intervals in the large-scale
  distribution of weak magnetic fields measured with low resolution, are
  related to large-scale convective motions. Two scales of such patterns
  were found and their morphological, kinematical and evolutionary
  behaviour was estimated. Their slower and overall rotation is also
  demonstrated in comparison with the rotation of highly averaged sunspot
  and magnetic fields. It is difficult to explain all the observed
  characteristics as random, or due to the method of field measurement
  and map construction used. We also discuss the change of their magnetic
  field polarities with the solar polar field reversal.

  In this communication the author discusses once more the physical
  reality of typical morphological cellular-like features of the
  large-scale distribution of weak background magnetic fields measured
  with low resolution. He has established several characteristic
  behaviours concerning the dynamics of their development, of their
  relation to differential rotation, to the frequency and intensity of
  new magnetic flux sources. Their rotation as a whole, which is slower
  than the differential rotation of the upper photospheric layers, and
  their lifetimes speak in favour of their physical reality and their
  possible relation to giant elements of convection.

  is closely related to the changes in the whole background magnetic

  The author summarizes his previous results concerning the local
  magnetic field formation, showing that its sunspot groups developing
  to reach higher typec C, D, E etc. continue their magnetic evolution
  during the period of new magnetic flux addition immediately after
  the first magnetically bipolar balanced stage. It is probably a
  magnetohydrodynamical process of magnetic field strengthening or a
  new magnetic flux generation. The important role of the photosphere
  in all these processes is underlined.

  the use of weak remnants of magnetic fields measured with a very low
  resolution during the periods of low solar activity and in regions of
  the photosphere with very low density of new magnetic flux sources
  are between the differential rotation values obtained with the aid
  of highly averaged sunspot data and from the daily magnetic field
  measurements. The effects disturbing the smooth changes of solar
  rotation velocity values with heliographic latitude, seen clearly in
  the distribution of magnetic fields as solar differential rotation
  parabolas, are briefly discussed.

Title: Magnetic Field and Photospheric Development of a Particular
    Sunspot Group from June 1963
Authors: Bumba, V.
1986BAICz..37..281B    Altcode:
  The influence of hydromagnetic and nonmagnetic forces, acting during
  the process of active region formation and aging is demonstrated on
  the basis of the investigation of the active region's magnetic field
  and the sunspot organization and structure related to it. Especially
  the existence of the short-lived peculiar photospheric filamentary
  stream in its relation to the dynamics of local field evolution is
  shown. Magnetic flux changes as related to flare occurrence are studied,
  and a comparison of the longitudinal and transverse component of the
  magnetic field with its whole vector for one day of observation is
  made. The importance of the new magnetic flux development at the inner
  boundary between the leading and following polarities is estimated.

Title: Formation of the May 1981 Solar Flare Complex and the Global
    Magnetic Field of the Sun (H. R. 17 644)
Authors: Bumba, V.
1986BAICz..37..210B    Altcode:
  The degree to which the development of the May 1981 flare complex
  is related to the global changes of the solar background magnetic
  fields is studied. It is connected with the action of magnetic active
  longitudes, it lasts about 10 rotations, and in its last phase it forms
  a coronal hole. Its fields play a role in forming two sectors in the
  equatorial background fields and are involved in the fast global field
  redistribution into regular morphological patterns. All regularities
  found require physical interpretation.

Authors: Bumba, V.; Kálmán, B.; Klvaňa, M.; Suda, J.
1986BAICz..37..219B    Altcode:
  Characteristic details of the postmaximum dissolution process of
  magnetic and photospheric patterns of the May 1981 flare complex are
  studied over about one week of fine-scale observations. Magnetic-flux
  and area changes in the course of field-topology simplification
  are estimated. In the photosphere only five features with a more
  stable field configuration survived this evolutionary stage. Flare
  activity variations are related to the individual changes observed
  in the magnetic field topology and photospheric morphology, and some
  conclusions concerning the consumption of magnetic energy stored in
  the system of magnetic field lines above the photosphere are drawn.

Title: Characteristic Patterns of Solar Magnetic Fields Around the

Authors: Bumba, V.
1985BAICz..36..177B    Altcode:
  The positions of solar flares identified in the He3-rich Solar Flares
  Catalog of Slivka (1982) were compared with magnetic field patterns for
  selected areas of the solar disk during the period 1968-1978. A high
  concentration of He3 solar flares was found in magnetically active
  longitudes; practically all of the flare events occurred in or near
  a well-defined magnetic field boundary surrounded by a field of the
  opposite polarity. The patterns of the magnetic field lines in the
  magnetically active longitudes are shown in synoptic charts. It is
  concluded that the geometry of the magnetic field may contribute to
  the enrichment of flare particles by H3.

  Processes visible during several impulses of new sunspot formations
  at the periphery of an older large background magnetic field body,

  development, as well as the non-simultaneous development of individual
  parts of the active region are underlined.

  All processes visible during the development of the magnetic field,
  sunspots and chromospheric structures in the usual active region of
  August 1974 are studied. The connection of the active region with
  the dynamics of the background field is discussed. The formation of a
  "centre of magnetic activity" is demonstrated on magnetic charts as
  well as in photospheric and chromospheric details. The regularities
  in the active region's magnetic field topology and dynamics, and their
  relations to the sunspot group development and formation of individual
  sunspots are shown. The process of formation of a penumbra is described.

  Following recent observations of solar-like activity in red dwarf

  between the stellar atmosphere and the evolution and distribution
  of the magnetic field is discussed, as well as the activity of the
  photosphere, chromosphere and corona as connected with magnetic flux
  in the stellar photosphere. Finally, the dynamics of the solar local
  magnetic fields and the dynamo theory are also studied.

Title: Processes Observable in the Photosphere During the Formation
    of an Active Region. 1. Development of a Very Small, Secondary
    Active Region
Authors: Bumba, V.; Suda, J.
1983BAICz..34..349B    Altcode:
  Observations made with the Ondrejov radiospectrograph in the frequency
  band 70-810 MHz on July 4, 1974 are used to investigate processes
  accompanying the formation of a very small secondary active region. The
  formation of this region is examined in relation to the development of a
  new local magnetic field on the background field through restructuring
  and dissipation and in relation to the evolution of a small bipolar
  sunspot group. Magnetic flux values are estimated, and attention is
  given to the morphology of the transformation of small sunspots and
  to two modes of small-sunspot disintegration.

Title: How Does the Magnetic Field of an Usual Active Region Develop?
Authors: Bumba, V.
1983BAICz..34..219B    Altcode:
  The existence of a regular pattern of development in a single solar
  active region's magnetic field, at least in some of its evolutionary
  stages, and the pattern's dependence on the heliographic position
  or on the phase of the solar activity cycle is investigated using
  about 36 sets of 'qualitative' maps of the longitudinal field
  distribution. Evidence of the influence of solar differential
  rotation on the shape of the magnetic field and of other dynamical
  forces arising from the flow of photospheric matter around the active
  region is obtained. It is shown that magnetic lines of force in the
  active region's 'center' form a subsystem which is lower than and
  perpendicular to the main system of magnetic lines of force joining
  the leading and following main spots.

Title: The Problem of Field Geometry in Sunspots
Authors: Bumba, V.; Suda, J.
1983BAICz..34..155B    Altcode:
  A comparison is conducted of the results of older spectroscopic magnetic
  field and velocity field observations in regular sunspots with the
  results obtained from white-light and monochromatic photographs of
  sunspots in the form of three schemes of magnetic field lines of force,
  velocity vectors and fine structure fibril distribution. From these
  schemes, the horizontal as well as the vertical scales of which are not
  distorted, the good agreement of the magnetic field distribution in the
  penumbra with motion of the photospheric and chromospheric penumbral
  matter, their depths and heights are seen. The difference between
  the umbral and penumbral field topology and physical conditions, as
  well as the uncertainty of the position of bright penumbral fibrils
  in relation to the magnetic field and radial motion distribution
  is also obtained. The possible conclusions of this comparison are
  briefly discussed.

Title: Observable physical effects during new solar active regions
    formations
Authors: Bumba, V.
1983AN....304....7B    Altcode:
  The present paper is an attempt to demonstrate the importance of
  detailed observations for the theory of solar local magnetic field
  generation. Mutual relations of solar background magnetic fields and
  new active region formations are described. The influence of various
  factors, dependent on as well as independent of the cycle of solar
  activity and the dynamics of background fields, is considered. All
  forces and effects whose action can be derived from systematic
  observations of magnetic field distribution and high resolution
  photospheric photographs of all stages of active regions development are
  discussed. The influence of convection, of the reaction on field lines
  penetration, of various magnetic forces, of differential rotation,
  and of hydrodynamical forces is demonstrated. The importance of a
  'center of magnetic activity', a magnetic subsystem orthogonal to the
  main system of active region's field as a source of new magnetic flux,
  is underlined. The necessity of a new approach to the problem of local
  magnetic field generation is stated.

  The author summarizes the results obtained from the observations of
  proper motions visible during the growth of local magnetic fields of
  active regions and during the formation and further development of their
  sunspot groups. The low efficiency of magnetic forces during the studied
  processes and, in contrast, the importance of hydrodynamic forces is
  demonstrated. The feedback action of the moving photosphere on the shape
  of magnetic field distribution and on the sunspot forms is shown too.

Title: Development of Sunspots in the Colliding Magnetic Fields of
    the June - July 1974 Proton-Flare Group
Authors: Bumba, V.; Suda, J.
1983BAICz..34...29B    Altcode:
  Results are presented of a study on the development of sunspots in the
  colliding magnetic fields of two large active regions that together
  form one complex proton-flare sunspot group. Not only morphological
  changes in two types of sunspot light bridges but also the formation
  of new sunspots in two main and one secondary 'center of gravity'
  are shown. These are in good agreement with the 'magnetic centers'
  and, in particular, with the dynamical consequences of the motions
  and collisions of different umbrae of like as well as unlike polarities.

Title: Magnetic Field Development in an Isolated Active Region
    (McMath No. 13 736)
Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvaňa, M.; Tomášek, P.
1982BAICz..33..321B    Altcode:
  The relation of the magnetic field development in an isolated
  active region to the dynamics of the background magnetic field is
  investigated. Only the magnetic field longitudinal component is used to
  estimate the growth of the magnetic flux values for both polarities. The
  magnetic field is found to slowly dissipate and enlarge its area during
  the five rotations after the first appearance of the field. The rate of
  field expansion in heliographic longitude and latitude is determined
  to approximate 10 degrees per rotation. It is suggested that the
  formation of a secondary active region during the postmaximum phase
  of the development of the main active region is a natural phase in the
  evolution of the main active region's magnetic field. The active region
  is considered to be the final product of a secondary active longitude,
  and after this source has disappeared the system of magnetic fields
  dissipates in its own way.

Title: June-July 1974 Proton-Flare Region. IV. The Dynamics of the
    Local Magnetic Field Evolution during the Proton-Flare Events Rotation
Authors: Bumba, V.
1982BAICz..33..281B    Altcode:
  The dynamics of the day to day evolution of the June-July 1974
  proton-flare region's local magnetic field, composed originally of at
  least two individual local fields, are analyzed, and the development
  of the magnetic centers of activity of the proton-flare local magnetic
  field is investigated. Results show that the development of the new
  magnetic fluxes can be related to two main and at least one secondary
  center of activity. It is indicated that one of the main reasons for the
  changes of the observed field topology is the tendency of the complex
  magnetic field to form one simple bipolar field, properly inclined
  toward the equator. During these changes of the field topology, the
  positive field of the eastern region extended toward the west to join
  the same polarity field of the western region and became the main
  leading field. The western negative polarity field shifted towards
  the east to join the eastern field of like polarity which took over
  the role of the main following field.

  Characteristics of the solar wind emanating from the region of
  the solar atmosphere in which the formation of the June-July 1974
  proton-flare region took place are investigated. It is shown that the
  daily geomagnetic character figures C 9 reach their maximum when the
  rapid disintegration and disappearance of the large-scale characteristic
  magnetic field patterns occur and when there is a sudden cessation
  of sunspot, flare, and coronal activity. This solar wind enhancement
  is taken as one of the last observable manifestations of the entire
  complex process.

    Magnetic Field Development
Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvana, M.; Pflug, K.
1982BAICz..33...36B    Altcode:
  The evolution of the background magnetic field pattern is
  described. The complex needed only one or two rotations to reach its
  maximum evolutionary state and its whole duration was about 10 or 12
  rotations. The studied active region appears during the early stages of
  a new impulse of activity, whose development is described along with
  that of the green coronal emission of which the complex of activity
  forms the center of gravity. Low resolution magnetic maps are used to
  describe the development of the complex of activity and high resolution
  maps are used to compare characteristic evolutionary features of the
  active region with photospheric and chromospheric development. It is
  concluded that the active region represents only a small part of a
  more general evolutionary process of the magnetic field.

Title: Development of Solar Energetic Particle Sources Within the
    Background Magnetic Fields
Authors: Bumba, V.
1982SSRv...32..229B    Altcode:
  The greatest coronal and interplanetary disturbances are considered
  consequences of complex processes accompanying development of
  large-flare regions. Such regions not only possess a specific
  magnetic field configuration, but their magnetic topology develops
  following certain rules within the frame of slowly changing large-scale
  distribution of the background magnetic field patterns as a result of
  the mutual influences of new magnetic flux appearance as well as old
  field weakening and dissipation. In this paper we try to demonstrate
  the individual phases of the large-scale long lasting magnetic field
  pattern formation with their morphological characteristics and magnetic
  field configurations. The time scale of the whole process is shown,
  and the possible reasons of such development are discussed. The proton
  flare regions of August 1972 and July 1974 are used as examples of
  the successive magnetic field complication and strengthening, the
  result of which is the appearance of still more complicated magnetic
  and velocity fields that produces proton flares and then the fast
  disintegration of the whole magnetic situation occupying more than
  one half of the visible solar surface following the occurrence of the
  proton flares. The consequences which may be used for the proton flare
  prediction are discussed.

  The positions of individual flare-emission features penetrating the
  umbrae of sunspots are compared with the underlying elements of these
  umbrae. Five flares in three large and complex active regions are
  investigated. The results obtained demonstrate that the flare emission
  observed in the wings of the hydrogen H(alpha)-line correlates well
  with the photospheric-like sunspot light-bridges and gulfs of umbrae and
  that it mostly avoids the darkest parts of umbrae, the field intensity
  of which is usually greater than 200 mT.

Title: June-July 1974 Proton-Flare Region. I. Individual Stages of

Authors: Bumba, V.; Hejna, L.
1981BAICz..32..349B    Altcode:
  Evolutionary characteristics of the large-scale magnetic field pattern
  producing the June-July 1974 proton flare region are described. The
  region's space and time relation to the intersection of two different
  magnetically active longitudes is estimated, and its individual
  development stages are demonstrated. The process of successive
  complication of local magnetic field producing the proton-flare region
  and its growth of complexity in frame of the background magnetic field
  continuous redistribution are studied. The development of the June-July
  1974 magnetic situation and that of the August 1972 proton-flare region
  are compared, finding many similarities although the events occurred
  at distinct stages of the solar cycle with different situations of
  activity density and with different latitudes.

Title: Beginning Stages of Local Magnetic Field Formation
Authors: Bumba, V.
1981BAICz..32..129B    Altcode:
  Based on a study of the initial stages of local magnetic field
  formation, the appearance of a new magnetic flux in the photosphere
  is studied. This magnetic flux is found to occur both under the
  influence of different modes of convective motion as well as under
  the action of Paleomagnetic fields. Waldmeier's Heliographic Maps of
  the Photosphere and Mt. Wilson Observatory daily magnetic maps were
  used in the analysis. Observed regularities could not be explained by a
  model of magnetic flux tubes emerging on the photospheric surface. This
  model can not account for the practically simultaneous development of
  separate active regions, belonging to different solar hemispheres and
  different cycles of solar activity in one, relatively narrow, 'unipolar'
  sector of the background field. It is also difficult to explain the
  different roles and velocities of negative and positive polarities
  during the formation of new magnetic fields. The importance of velocity
  measurements and maps for solving the observed phenomenon is stressed.

  On the basis of a large series of good quality sunspot photographs and
  with the aid of daily Mt. Wilson magnetograms the individual phases in
  the August 1972 proton-flare sunspot grou5 development are found and
  their relation to the changes of magnetic field topology estimated. A
  very detailed description of two types of sunspot light-bridge evolution
  and their dependence on the magnetic field polarity distribution is
  given. A brief summary of the investigation of the chromospheric fine
  structure morphology determination by the underlying photospheric as
  well as magnetic field details in the group is presented. Finally, some
  development peculiarities, especially the exceptional role of features
  with the positive polarity fields embraced by the negative polarity
  fields in the formation of strong field gradients are compared with
  the evolution of some peculiarities in the July 1974 proton-flare group.

  Magnetic synoptic charts and daily maps are used to examine the
  individual phases and separate impulses of the background magnetic field
  evolution accompanying the development of the August 1972 proton-flare

  of the main proton-flare region during the few rotations following
  the occurrence of the proton-flare event is emphasized.

Title: Initial phase of the development of the magnetic field of an
    active region in the photosphere
Authors: Bumba, V.; Tomasek, P.
1980tpmb.meet...35B    Altcode:
  The initial phases of the development of magnetic fields in new
  active regions were studied on the basis of daily magnetic maps from
  Mt. Wilson Observatory and magnetic charts of individual active regions
  obtained at the Ondrejov Observatory. It is found that the formation
  of the magnetic flux of new active regions appears to be a part of
  the process of background magnetic field development and is determined
  by the supergranular network. The formation of a new active region is
  characterized by the relationship between a new field and the 'unipolar'
  region of an old field; the temporal succession in the appearance of
  the following and leading portions of the new region; the important
  role of the negative polarity field; the successive development of
  fluxes of individual polarities; the identity of the basic focus of
  magnetic field development with the center of developing sunspot groups;
  and the existence of secondary centers of magnetic field development.

Title: Internal Structure of Sunspot Umbrae
Authors: Bumba, V.; Suda, J.
1980BAICz..31..101B    Altcode:
  The paper reports high-resolution photographic investigations of the
  structural details in sunspot umbrae which belong to spots with various
  magnetic field intensity values in different evolutionary phases, and
  occurring in groups with a distinct magnetic field and morphological
  topology. It was found that each sunspot umbrae, regardless of size,
  magnetic field intensity, darkness, form, age or presence of a penumbra,
  has an identical internal morphological structure formed of a dark
  network of cellular elements, the center of each being filled in by a
  bright grain. Constructed structural maps, representing the positions
  of the bright central parts of the cellular elements, are completely
  identical for photospheric and umbral granular fields. In addition,
  the lifetime of the individual umbral cells is found to be between
  10-30 minutes in most cases, while the fundamental physical importance
  of the dark intergranular space in the photosphere is re-emphasized
  in this study.

  Some results are presented for a preliminary analysis of synoptic
  magnetic charts obtained at Mt. Wilson Observatory during the present

  magnetic-field distribution are observed in the present cycle relative
  to the preceding one. It is found that even the roles of positive and
  negative polarities seem unchanged, although their functions as leading
  and trailing polarities have been exchanged. The importance of the
  two basic recurrences or sequences in the large-scale magnetic-field
  distribution, with respective periods of 27 days and 28-29 days,
  is emphasized. The existence of latitudinal shifts or 'oscillations'
  in solar activity is noted.

  for high-quality and high-resolution observations of solar features
  is made, drawing on all systematic solar observations undertaken
  at the site since 1948. The climate of Ondrejov, as well as the
  observational conditions over the years and during different months,
  are discussed. The changes of solar seeing in the course of the day and
  the intervals of best seeing conditions are shown. Some high-quality
  photographs of the photosphere are presented as an example of the
  usefulness of the observational material for obtaining new aspects of
  solar active regions.

  Correlations of the negative and positive polarity sectors of the
  interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) with the main bodies of the
  negative and positive supergiant structures of the solar magnetic
  field are pointed out. When the IMF is bipolar, the negative-positive
  sector boundary lies close to the region of high activity. The shift of
  sector boundaries in heliographic longitude, if examined in successive
  rotations, is parallel to that of the solar magnetic field rows and
  streams in the equatorial strips of solar synoptic magnetic charts
  mounted successively. This means that the synodic rotation of the sector
  boundaries is close to 27 days. At the same time, the centers of gravity
  of successive interplanetary field sectors are shifted to the east
  with synodic rotation close to 28-29 days. Both main types of shifts
  have been found in the solar background magnetic field distribution.

  Using the Mt. Wilson magnetic synoptic charts from the recent
  solar activity cycles the dynamics of the formation of giant regular
  structures formed in the plus (leading) polarity of older more extended
  magnetic fields are studied. Although their diameters are about one
  order greater than those of supergranules, the processes of their
  development go analogously to those of supergranulation and granulation.

  A study of the Mount Wilson magnetic-field synoptic chart material
  divided into latitude zones for the interval 1959-67, and a comparison
  of the data with sunspot groups have provided a better understanding
  of the structure of the background-field pattern and its relation to
  activity. The interaction of old and new fields within the pattern
  seems to result in long-lived sections of alternating polarity in both
  hemispheres. We postulate subsurface sources with rotation periods of
  about 27 days which produce active regions over a longitude zone of
  some tens of degrees. There is a tendency for the background-field
  features with strong fields to resist to some extent the shearing
  effects of differential rotation. A prediction is made concerning the
  nature of the interplanetary magnetic field above the ecliptic.

  at the Kitt Peak National Observatory are presented. The measured
  intensities are greater than or equal to about 1200 Gauss. Furthermore,
  a broadening of the FeI line λ6302.508 Å was found in some places
  of intergranular space. The importance of intergranular space as a

  The preliminary results presented in this note seem to demonstrate
  the facts that the sun observed as a star in the light of the K and
  H lines is variable, and that this variability is closely related to
  that of the magnetic field intensity, or to the distribution of magnetic
  fields, and hence to the distribution of calcium plages or photospheric
  faculae in the solar atmosphere. This variability will not so much be
  related to the variation of Wolf's relative sunspot numbers or to the
  variation of the sunspot area. <P />The applicability of the obtained
  results for the examination of the late-type stars seems to be evident.

Title: Large-Scale Distribution of Solar Magnetic Fields.
Authors: Bumba, V.; Howard, Robert
1965ApJ...141.1502B    Altcode:
  Solar magnetograms covering a period of years were used to study
  the distribution of weak magnetic fields on the solar surface. The
  semiregular pattern of these background fields is the result of the
  expansion, weakening, and stretching by differential rotation of
  magnetic fields of old active regions and their interaction with
  neighboring fields, and of the continuing development of magnetic
  fields of new regions within the pattern. The net result is a slowly
  changing pattern of background fields which occupies at times during
  the solar cycle more than 50 per cent of the surface area of the Sun,
  as seen with the 23" resolution of the magnetograph. The interaction
  of nearby magnetic fields takes the form of the apparent attraction of
  features of the same polarity and the apparent repulsion of features of
  opposite polarity. Sometimes weak magnetic features covering a large
  area apparently disappear over a period of a few rotations. It is not
  clear from the observations what the mechanism of this disappearance
  could be. It is clear from the period near minimum that active regions
  are concentrated in complexes of activity whose location and development
  are clearly defined. The largest of these complexes, consisting of
  many active regions, result in the formation of Unipolar Magnetic
  Regions (UMR). The polar fields are discussed from the standpoint of
  the poleward drift of the UMR's.

---------------------------------------------------------
Title: A Study of the Development of Active Regions on the Sun.
Authors: Bumba, V.; Howard, Robert
1965ApJ...141.1492B    Altcode:
  The early development of a large number of active regions was
  studied. Magnetic, photospheric, and chromospheric observations from
  Mount Wilson were used. It was found that the supergranular pattern of
  the solar atmosphere plays a very fundamental role in the development of
  active regions. New regions form in or immediately adjacent to expanding
  weak old regions that are seen as an enhanced calcium network. The
  first appearance of the new calcium plage (also of sunspots) takes
  place in the space between several supergranules, and the subsequent
  brightening occurs between supergranules, usually filling in several
  of them. In many cases it appeared that during the first day or two of
  the development of the group, the magnetic fields did not show zero
  net flux. Usually the direction of the development of the plage was
  from following to leading The increase of magnetic flux (the initial
  growth of the plage) takes place only during the first few days in the
  life of a region. During this period the boundary of the filamentary
  structure in Ha increases at the rate of about 200 m/sec. This evidently
  represents the rapid ordering of magnetic fields around the plage.

Title: Large-Scale Patterns of the Solar Magnetic Field.
Authors: Bumba, V.; Howard, Robert; Smith, Sara F.
1964AJ.....69Q.535B    Altcode:
  Reduction of 421 years of daily magnetograms obtained with the
  magnetograph built by Dr. H. W. Babcock is in progress. The angular
  resolution from these observations is 23 sec of arc. Isogauss drawings
  were made from the magnetograms, and synoptic charts were drawn for
  each solar rotation. It is apparent that the large-scale pattern of the
  solar magnetic field is for the most part the result of the spreading
  out and stretching by differential rotation of portions of the magnetic
  fields of old active regions. These large-scale features persist for
  many months, while the small-scale patterns which are connected with
  active regions can change in a matter of days. The main direction of
  motion of the migrating fields is eastward and poleward. The following
  polarity in each hemisphere usually predominates in the poleward drift
  of fields. The polar magnetic field measurements record il~is quantized
  migration of fields (Undoubtedly, as has already been pointed out,
  this drift of following polarities was responsible for the reversal
  in polarity observed in the polar fields during the last maximum.) It
  appears that if there is a fixed component of a general solar field
  it is not apparent in these observations and would have to be less
  than a few tenths of a gauss. Judging from the distribution of the
  large-scale magnetic fields, one would observe the sun at a distance
  during some parts of the 22-yr cycle as a magnetic variable star (if
  it were possible to observe variations of a few Gauss) with irregular
  fluctuations and reversals in intervals of the order of a few da~~s. A
  portion of this work was made possible by the Advanced Research Projects
  Agency by means of a contract with the Lockheed Solar Observatory.
