The corona above active regions is now recognized as an assemblage of magnetically confined loops of plasma. This advance in understanding the active upper atmosphere is documented in the monograph resulting from the Third Skylab Workshop (Solar Active Regions, 1981, ed., F.Q. Orrall). International collaborative programs during the Solar Maximum Year (SMY) have further stimulated the study of active regions with emphasis on the search for the underlying causes of solar flares. Scores of analyses of individual regions, combining space- and ground-based observations, have been published. We have as a result an improved picture of interactions between active regions: from creation of shear in the magnetic topology to inter-region connections via the corona. A revived interest in the phenomena of recurrent active regions and sunspot decay has highlighted a basic problem for solar magnetism: the removal of magnetic flux from the solar surface. The interpretation of temporary dips in the solar irradiance caused by active regions continues to generate lively debate.
