✦ Synopsis

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 techniques are found to be in general agreement, and the relation B=O.5[(R/Ro)-l]-lSG, 1.02 ~< R/R| <<-10 is consistent with all the data to within a factor of about 3.

Slow photospheric motions can produce flow speeds in the corona which are fast enough to violate quasi-static evolution. Therefore, high-speed flows observed in the corona are not necessarily due to a loss of equilibrium or stability. In this letter we present an example where the flow speed increas

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
