We present numerical simulations of intensities and profiles of the O VI λ1O32 and λ1O38 lines expected from an equatorial and polar coronal hole at solar minimum, when observed on the plane of the sky in the 1.2 Rsun-8 Rsun range of heliocentric distance. The radial variations of coronal temperatures, densities and outflow speeds inside these structures are those n}} Withbroe (1988) through a one-fluid steady-state energy balance model. We discuss how the spectral features depend on the physical parameters of the examined structures, in order to evaluate to which extent they can put constraints on empirical models of the extended solar corona. These results may contribute to prepare and interpret SPARTAN and UVCS/SOHO future observations.
