Movies and Comparisons for Carrington Rotation 1888

Here are images and movies for our MHD model of the solar corona for Carrington Rotation 1888 (October 10 - November 6, 1994). To perform the calculation, we used photospheric magnetic field data from Wilcox Solar Observatory. The November 3, 1994 Solar Eclipse occurred during this rotation.

We have compared the polarization brightness (pb) through out the rotation with images from the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory. The Mauna Loa images are courtesy of HAO. Vertical (top) is solar north. Click image for high resolution JPEG (96 Kbytes).

Movies: They work best with 24 bit color. If you have Mpeg_play and 24 bit color, use the "-dither color" option. For Sparkle on the Mac, set "play all frames" to on or frames may be be dropped.
