Solar Physics publishes up to two TopicalIssues per year that focus
on areas of especially vigorousand activeresearch. The present
TopicalIssue containspapers of recent results on the solar corona,
as well as on the transition region and low solar wind. The
majority of these papers, which were all refereed in accordance
withthe standards of Solar Physics, werepresentedin August 1999at a
workshop heldin Monterey, California. TheSun's magneticfieldis
responsibleforthe spectacularly dynamicand intri- cate
phenomenonthat we call the corona. The past decade has seen an
enormous increase in our understanding of this part of the solar
outer atmosphere, both as a result of observations and because of
rapid advances in numerical studies.The Yohkoh
satellitehasobservedthe Sun nowfor overeightyears,
producingspectac- ular sequences of images that conveythe
complexity of the corona. The imaging andspectroscopic
instrumentsonSOHOhaveaddedinformationonthecoolerpart of the corona.
Andsince April of 1998TRACEhas givenus very high resolution
imagesof the 1-2 MKcorona, atcadencesthat allowdetailedobservations
of field oscillations, loopevolution, mass ejecta, etc. The papers
of thisTopicalIssue revolvearoundone keytheme:the entire outer
atmosphereof the Sun is intrinsicallydynamic, evolvingso rapidly
that even the concept of a single local temperaturefor a single
fluid often breaks down. More- over, the corona is an
intrinsicallynonlinearand non-localmedium.These aspects are
discussedin thisTopicalIssue, includingboth papers that
reviewrecentdevel- opments(both basedon observations and on
theoretical/numerical modeling), and original research papers based
on observations from many different observatories.
