The Hanle effect produced by the model's magnetic field depolarizes the zero-field scattering polarization signals significantly, to the extent that the center-to-limb variation (CLV) of the calculated spatially averaged polarization amplitudes is compatible with the observations. The standard deviation of the horizontal fluctuations of the calculated scattering polarization signals is very sensitive to the model's magnetic field, and we find that the predicted spatial variations are sufficiently sizable so as to be able to detect them, especially with the next generation of solar telescopes. We find that at all on-disk positions, the theoretical scattering polarization signals are anticorrelated with the continuum intensity. To facilitate reaching new observational breakthroughs, we show how the theoretically predicted polarization signals and spatial variations are modified when deteriorating the signal-to-noise ratio and the spectral and spatial resolutions of the simulated observations.
