Scientific paper

According to the Helmholtz Theorem, the solar magnetic field can be defined in terms of an irrotational and a solenoidal component. We will discuss the partitioning of the field into these components as a means of attributing elements of the magnetic field to its vorticity and divergence. We will then discuss the advantages of this decomposition as a metric for comparing vector magnetograms of varying spatial and temporal resolution.
