We summarize studies of helical properties of solar magnetic fields such as current helicity and twist of magnetic fields in solar active regions (ARs), that are observational tracers of the alpha-eect in the solar convective zone (SCZ). Information on their spatial distribution is obtained by analysis of systematic mag- netographic observations of active regions taken at Huairou Solar Observing Station of National Astronomical Observatories of Chinese Academy of Sciences. The main property is that the tracers of the alpha-eect are antisymmetric about the solar equator. Identifying longitudinal migration of active regions with their individual rotation rates and taking into account the internal dierential rotation law within the SCZ known from helioseismology, we deduce the distribution of the eect over depth. We have found evidence that the alpha-eect changes its value and sign near the bottom of the SCZ, and this is in accord with the theoretical studies and numerical simulations. We discuss other regularities which can be revealed by fur- ther analysis such as possible dependence on longitude, time, and magnetic field strength, etc.
