Abstract
This paper describes comparisons among white light polarized radiances (pB) as measured by the Ultraviolet Coronagraph Spectrometer White Light Channel (UVCS/WLC), the Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph Experiment C2 instrument (LASCOC2) and the Spartan 201 White Light Coronagraph (Spartan 201/WLC). UVCS/WLC and LASCO-C2 are generally in agreement, although there are some systematic trends and discrepancies that still require explanation. UVCS/WLC and Spartan 201/WLC agree to within the measurement uncertainties. Spartan 201/WLC and LASCO-C2 are not directly compared to each other in this paper.
