The synoptic observing project of the High ltitude Observatory's Coronal Dynamics Program began on 5 August 1980. The data obtained for it are gathered by the Mark-III K-coronameter located at the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory, Hawaii, and are published yearly in volumes of The White Solar Corona: An Atlas of K-Coronameter Synoptic Charts. The data are extended at both the beginning and the end of each volume to provide some overlap with the preceding and succeeding volumes. This is necessary to provide a complete set of the data organized into Carrington rotations covering a specific time period, since the rotations do not coincide with the yearly calendar. Further, observations are made at the limb, and west limb passage occur 14 days after the east limb passage. Thus, an entire rotation's data requires more than 28 days to collect. As well as the synoptic maps, there are two additional sections designed to aid the user included. As in previous atlases, the Activity Report Summary for the year and the Polar Synoptic Charts are included. Also included is the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Calendar for 1986. This is a list of days on which no coronal observations were achieved.
