Abstract

Based on the data obtained with the CHIMERA algorithm, we consider the evolution of a long-lived low-latitude coronal hole during its central meridian passage over the period from February 15, 2012, to October 14, 2012. The correlation coefficient between the photospheric magnetic field strength of the coronal hole and its area in nine Carrington rotations is \(R={-}0.55\). It differs noticeably from \(R={-}0.82\) given in Heinemann et al. The results suggest a significant dependence of the area of coronal holes on the method of determining their boundaries. This can have a noticeable effect both on the prediction of geomagnetic activity and on the understanding of the nature of solar phenomena related to these structures.
