Cyclic variations of the coronal green line brightness (CGLB) are investigated analysing a series of synoptic charts and a special movie assembled of them, covering 1943-2001. Regular changes of the large-scale CGLB distribution in dependence on the phase in the solar cycle are presented. A quantitative relation between the coronal green line intensity $I$ and the total magnetic field strength $B$ is derived for the period 1977-2001; the $B$ was calculated under potential approximation. A simple exponential relation of type $I \propto B^q$ was found to exist between the above two quantities. It is shown that the $q$ exponent may have opposite sign in the equatorial and polar zones. During phases of the solar cycle maxima the $I$ versus $B$ relation is much more complicated and cannot be expressed by such a simple formula.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
