Abstract
Using the Mt. Wilson magnetic synoptic charts from the recent solar activity cycles the dynamics of the formation of giant regular structures formed in the plus (leading) polarity of older more extended magnetic fields are studied. Although their diameters are about one order greater than those of supergranules, the processes of their development go analogously to those of supergranulation and granulation.
The close relation of the minus (following) polarity distribution to the new formed active regions is demonstrated and the possible different mode of distribution and different role of both opposite polarities on activity processes is discussed.
