[2.38] Modeling the Corona During ``Whole Sun Month 3''

Z. Mikic, J. A. Linker, P. Riley, R. Lionello (SAIC, San Diego)

The ``Whole Sun Month 3'' interval (Aug. -- Sept. 1999) affords an excellent opportunity to compare theroretical models with multiple coordinated observations of the Sun as it approaches solar maximum. This is the counterpart and continuation of the effort begun in the original Whole Sun Month interval (Aug. -- Sept. 1996) during solar minimum conditions. We will apply MHD models to calculate both active-region magnetic fields and global magnetic fields in the corona, and compare these with solar observations.
