We use the two magnetically sensitive infrared Fe I lines at We use the two magnetically sensitive infrared Fe I lines at 15648.5 Åand 15652.9 Å to study the distribution of the solar magnetic fields. We found that the intra-network elements have an average field strength of about 500 gauss. Furthermore the solar surface magnetic field distribution can be described by a 2-component mode. The first component is the strong-field component. It includes the magnetic elements found in sunspots, plages, and quiet region network, and has an average field strength of 1400 gauss. The second component is the weak-field component comprised mostly of the intra-network elements. We also found that the average size of the weak-field elements is approximately 70 km in diameter.We suggest that the clear distinction between the strong-and weak-field components imply that the strong-field represent the large-scale, deeply rooted solar-cycle field supported by the thermal pressure of the solar plasma; the weak-field component may be generated by the turbulent velocity of the solar convection zone, and is supported by the turbulent pressure of the solar convective motion.
