Abstract

The coronal streamer belts and their radial variation between 2.5 and 20.0 solar radii in the ascending phase of the solar cycle can be well reproduced using the horizontal current-current sheet-source surface magnetic field model with the set of model parameters determined based on MDI and LASCO Carrington maps during 1996 minimum activity phase.
