Description
Two inversion techniques are compared: the Unno-Rachkov-sky fitting method (UR) and the Stokes Inversion based on Response functions (SIR). Results with synthetic profiles in sunspot model atmospheres and real data show that whilst UR is well suited for recovering a constant vec B, SIR enables us to know the run with depth of vec B and the line of sight velocity together with the temperature stratification.
