Long-lived patterns of solar magnetic-field polarity and coronal holes are revealed in a collection of stackplots, time series of narrow zones of solar latitude. The plots, based upon a 21 year collection of H-alpha synoptic charts compiled at the Space Environment Lab of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Boulder, Colorado, portray the long-term, large-scale evolution of solar magnetic features for the time interval September, 1966 through December, 1987 (Carrington Rotations 1512-1796). These data record two complete sunspot cycles (most of Cycles 20 and 21, and the start of Cycle 22). Coronal hole data are available from the x-ray images obtained for 1975-1987. Applications for these data include: studies of variable rates of solar rotation of magnetic field and coronal hole patterns; inference of the general circulation of the solar atmosphere; definition of the solar cycle from large-scale parameters, independent of sunspots; improved studies of the reversal of polar magnetic fields, and meridional motions of large-scale features.
