Scientific paper

We combine relative intensity images of the solar chromosphere and corona with magnetograms to identify coronal hole regions on the Sun. We compare them with the coronal holes - defined as the foot-points of magnetically open field lines - derived with two different coronal models: a PFSS model (Arge and Pizzo, 2000) and a 3D MHD model (Riley, Linker, and Mikic, 2001) that use the same magnetic field maps as photospheric boundary. The fraction of the observed coronal holes found by coronal models gives us a means to validate how well models reproduce observations. Cases for different level of solar activity during solar cycle 23 are presented and discussed.
