Extract

We compare observations of a large coronal streamer made with the 80 MHz Culgoora radioheliograph, the Kcoronameter on Mauna Loa and the white light coronagraph on Skylab. The various measurements are not in agreement, and this raises fundamental questions about the nature of the corona and wave propagation through a streamer structure. The comparisons also indicate how precise data from the heliograph may contribute to a better understanding of these processes.
