Adopting the computational model of papers I and II (Song et al. 1990, 1992) we have found that for a better fit of the center of the Fe I 5324.19 Å line, the effect of turbulent Doppler broadening has to be taken into account. Through theoretical and numerical analysis we conclude that the square root of the modulus of Stokes Q and U is an appropiate observational parameter to represent the transverse magnetic field, since it is approximately linearly proportional to the strength of the transverse magnetic field for suitable positions of the filter passband.
