Scientific paper

A remarkable north-south pattern of symmetry in the location of filaments on June 11, 1972, and an analysis of surface magnetic-field harmonics by Altschuler et al. (1974) are offered as evidence for the existence of giant convective cells. Both data sets suggest a longitudinal wave number of 5, a value which seems to exclude this symmetry being due to effects of a solar alpha-omega-dynamo. The lifetime of these cells was about 2-4 months. This was apparently the only instance from 1959 to 1973 of such cells being manifested in magnetic-field patterns which were evident by harmonic analyses or by filament inspections.
