The White Light Solar Corona an Atlas of K-coronameter Synoptic Charts December 1981 - January 1983

This data which is published yearly in volumes of The White Light Solar Corona; An Atlas Of K Coronameter Synoptic Charts (Table 1). The reader will notice a segment of overlapped data at both the beginning and the end of each volume.

This is necessary to provide a complete data set of Carrington rotations covering a specific time period because west limb passage occurs 14 days after the east limb passage. This set of synoptic data should be regarded as a preliminary presentation in which no corrections have been made for the day-to-day variations in sky transmission and scattering of polarized light by the earth's atmosphere. While there is some inaccuracy incurred in neglecting these effects, it is still possible to use the data set as a characterization of the white light corona.
