Latitude migration of solar filaments

Abstract

The Carte Synoptique catalogue of solar filaments from March 1919 to December 1989, corresponding to complete cycles 16 to 21 is utilized to show latitudinal migration of filaments at low latitudes (less than 50 deg), and the latitudinal drift of solar filaments in each hemisphere in each cycle of the time interval is compared with the corresponding drift of sunspot groups. The physical implication behind the latitudinal drift of filaments is explored.
