โœฆ Synopsis

A long-standing misconception about the mathematical validity of utilizing Green's function solutions to coronal magnetic fields is discussed. Although this type of solution does not fit the observed line-of-sight component of the photospheric magnetic field, but rather the net flux in a region, the solution does obey Laplace's equation in the inner corona.

The observational evidence on the strength of the coronal magnetic field above active regions is reviewed. Recent advances in observations and plasma theory are used to determine which data are the more reliable and to revise some earlier estimates of field strength. The results from the different t

A model of the large-scale magnetic field structure above the photosphere uses a Green's function solution to Maxwell's equations. Sources for the magnetic field are related to the observed photospheric field and to the field computed at a 'source' surface about 0.6 R G above the photosphere. The la
