Abstract

Some recent progress in understanding the nature of the evolution of the global coronal magnetic field is reviewed. Particularly, the efforts of Hoeksema (1984) in defining the character of the evolving modes of the potential coronal field are compared with the currently-known evidence for evolution of coronal white light structures. Recent work in examining the soft x-ray intensity of coronal holes over a major portion of the solar cycle is noted, as are two new studies investigating the relation of coronal mass ejections to the ambient global coronal magnetic field.
