Description
We report a direct comparison of the amplitudes of Stokes spectra of the
Fe i 630 nm and 1.56 μm lines produced by realistic MHD simulations
with simultaneous observations in the same spectral regions. The Stokes
spectra were synthesized in snapshots with a mixed polarity magnetic
field having a spatially averaged strength, < B >, between 10 and
30 G. The distribution of Stokes V amplitudes depends sensitively on
< B >. A quiet inter-network region was observed at the German VTT
simultaneously with TIP (1.56 μm) and POLIS (630 nm). We find that
the Stokes V amplitudes of both infrared and visible observations are
best reproduced by the simulation snapshot with < B > = 20 G. In
observations with 1 resolution, up to 2/3 of the magnetic flux can
remain undetected.
