Correlation analysis between S3T and SFT/MTK vector magnetograms

Three components of the vector magnetic field, flux density B, inclination γ and azimuth χ of the active region NOAA10507 are derived from the two-dimensional Stokes spectral data obtained by the S3T at the Yunnan Observatory. The distributions of the longitudinal magnetic field and the transverse magnetic field are contoured on the basis of the three components. The distributions indicate that the active region is a very complicated sunspot group which is mainly composed of five sunspots, including one of negative polarity and four positive ones. Comparing the vector magnetograms obtained by S3T and the SFT/MTK, it is found that there is basic agreement on the longitudinal fields of S3T and SFT/MTK magnetograms with a correlation coefficient ρBz=0.842, and the two distributions of transverse magnetic field obtained by S3T and SFT/MTK have correlation coefficients, ρBt=0.423 and ρazimuth=0.72.
