The global magnetic field of the Sun is the determining parameter of spreading the solar wind in the interplanetary space. The global field changes the polarity synchronically with the cycle of solar activity. The interesting indicator of the polarity change are the occurence so-called polar belts of the prominences. The article shows the performance of these belts on observational work from 1975 to 2009. A coordinated effort is suggested for the compilation of data from different observers following the method described by Rušin et al., 1988.
