Very Large Array (VLA) observations of coronal loopsAdvances in ground based Very Large Array (VLA) observations of the Sun, and how they complement and extend EUV and X-ray observations from space are reviewed. The VLA provides high resolution, full disk images that include hot, dense coronal loops within individual active regions (at 20 cm), and cooler, higher, more extended structures (at 90 cm) that can connect widely separated active regions, describe high lying noise storms, or act as a transition sheath between cool dark filaments and the hot enveloping corona. VLA images of both cool and hot corona loops can be compared with data from most of the SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) instruments, thereby enhancing the scientific return of the SOHO mission beyond that expected from using its instruments alone.
