The evolution of large-scale solar magnetic fields has been studied for a complete solar cycle using the atlas of H-alpha synoptic charts for 1964-1974. The results include: a unique magnetic pattern coinciding with major coronal holes; variations in the rate of solar rotation through the solar cycle; discovery of convergence and divergence among long-lived magnetic patterns; periodic discontinuities in the organization of large-scale magnetic fields; and a new cause for coronal transients.
