Scientific paper

It was found that, during 1978 and 1979, coronal holes reflected the influence of differential rotation, and were present within a slowly evolving large-scale pattern in spite of the relatively high level of sunspot activity. The long-lived 28.5-day pattern is not produced by a rigidly rotating quasi-stationary structure on the sun, but appears to be produced by a nonstationary migratory process associated with solar differential rotation. The association between coronal holes and solar wind speed enhancements at earth continues to depend on the latitude of the holes (relative to the heliographic latitude of earth), but even the best associations since 1976 have speeds of only 500-600 km/s rather than the values of 600-700 km/s that usually occurred during the declining phase of sunspot cycle 20.
