Scientific paper

It is discussed how differential rotation may serve as the driving force to produce large scale reorientations of magnetic fields in the solar atmosphere, drastically altering the three-dimensional global structure of the corona and the distribution of filaments. No changes in magnetic flux from the photosphere are required, only a reconnection of existing coronal field lines. A process is suggested for the bifurcation of a high-latitude magnetic structure, producing two separate components at the same latitude, whose rotation rates are influenced by their respective magnetic linkages to other regions on the sun.
