Scientific paper

In spite of many recent developments in observations and models of the solar corona, a good description of the global coronal and solar wind temperatures and heating still eludes us. Here we attempt to make some progress on that problem by applying a previously developed simplified 2D coronal magnetohydrodynamic model to a unique synthesis of remote sensing coronal observations from SOHO and Spartan 201 and in-situ data from Ulysses during the quiscient phase of solar cycle 23 (1995-1997) which also included the Whole Sun Month (August/September, 1996) study period. This to our knowledge is the first model that provides an empirical heating profile of the corona and interplanetary medium, as a function of latitude and radial distance.
