Abstract
EIT/SOHO data in four EUV lines and MDI/SOHO (1996-2002), and soft X-ray YOHKOH data (1991-2001) are analyzed in the form of coronal synoptic maps for the investigation of solar cycle variations of the corona and magnetic field. The evolution of coronal structures is closely related to sunspot activity, photospheric magnetic field, and topology of the large-scale magnetic field. The coronal structures visible in extreme ultraviolet and soft X-rays as extended bright loops, reflect the non-axisymmetrical magnetic structure of the Sun, changing with the solar cycle. The long-living coronal structures are related to complexes of solar activity and display the quasiperiodic behavior (impulses of coronal activity) with periods of 1.0-1.5 year in the axisymmetrical distribution of EUV and X-ray fluxes during the current cycle.
