The linear polarization in a number of spectral lines on the solar disk near the heliographic north and south poles is interpreted using the theory of the Hanle effect, in order to search for a turbulent magnetic field in the solar atmosphere. The Hanle depolarization is separated from several other effects, such as the collisional depolarization and the scattering geometry. Results indicate the existence of hidden or turbulent magnetic flux near the temperature minimum of the solar atmosphere, having a field strength between 10 and 100 G. The field is hidden in the sense that it never appears in solar magnetograms, which are based on the longitudinal Zeeman effect. Such a field of greater than 10 G filling the entire photospheric volume carries much more flux than is seen in magnetograms, even when the kG network fluxes are taken into account.
