Abstract

Speaking on localized velocity fields on the Sun, we mean the velocity fields in active regions on the disk. The experimental data used to picture these fields are based mainly on 1) the observations of Doppler shifts of spectral lines, 2) the form (asymmetry) of line profiles, 3) moving picture process in monochromatic, mainly Hα and H or K, light. However the big skin-time of solar plasma makes these data insufficient to get an adequate and complete idea about the motions in active regions, and we must also take into account the available observational data about magnetic fields in these regions. Somewhere the state of affairs permits one to disregard the possible influence of magnetic fields on the picture of velocity fields But these occasions are comparatively rare, because the main source of solar activity is closely, but in a not quite recognized way, connected with magnetic activity of the Sun. This is why we should in our talk consider as closely as possible both subjects—the motions in active regions and their magnetic fields. The best illustrations of the necessity of such a mode of consideration are the velocity fields in sunspots.
