Static and dynamic loop models and their observational signaturesThe magnetically closed regions of the outer solar atmosphere can be studied in terms of one dimensional hydrodynamic loops models. These regions include the bright plasma loops that are readily visible in EUV and X-ray images as well as the fainter, more diffuse-appearing plasma that surrounds them. The basic theoretical properties of static, steady state, and time dependent loop models are discussed, and these properties are related to observations of emission measure distributions and Doppler shifts. Both existing observations and future observations from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) are considered. In particular, the dependence of the models on the form of the energy input (coronal heating) is emphasized.
