We describe the application of a three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model to the prediction of the structure of the corona during the total solar eclipse that is expected to occur on 4 December 2002. The calculation uses the observed photospheric radial magnetic field as a boundary condition. This model makes it possible to determine the large-scale structure of the magnetic field in the corona, as well as the distribution of the solar wind velocity, plasma density, and temperature. We will use magnetic fields observed on the solar disk prior to eclipse day to predict what the corona will look like during the eclipse. The estimated coronal density and temperature will be used to predict the plane-of-sky polarization brightness and emission of UV radiation prior to the eclipse. The prediction will be posted on our web site (http://haven.saic.com) prior to the eclipse.
