Abstract

The procedure for reducing the data acquired during the Mt. Wilson Observatory synoptic program is described, and a program for acquiring as many scans per day as possible of the solar magnetic and velocity fields is discussed. A fitting formula which removes the background velocity field from each scan has been derived. It is suggested that the difference between the limb shift along the north-south axis and the east-west axis may be due to the meridional circulation.
