Caption: Fig. 2.

Simulated coronal streamers, 2.5–8 R_☉, 1996 June to August (compare the LASCO observations of Fig. 1). The scattering electrons are assumed to be concentrated in a 2﹩\fdg﹩5 wide band centered around the current sheet, whose location was determined by an outward extrapolation of the WSO photospheric field for CR 1910, 1911, and 1912, respectively. Left: total intensity K_tot = K_tan + K_rad. Right: polarized intensity K_pol = K_tan − K_rad. Black circles indicate the size of the solar disk.
