The nature of large-scale magnetic fields (LSMF) <strong>an</strong>d their coupling with local fields are<br />

discussed. The results of helioseismic studies are used to investigate the problem of LSMF<br />

generation, taking into account their meridional drift. During <strong>an</strong> activity cycle, the global field<br />

never goes to zero, but only ch<strong>an</strong>ges its direction. The LSMF data are shown to be import<strong>an</strong>t<br />

for long-term (5-10 years) prediction of solar activity. The heating of the solar corona is<br />

simulated using the intensity <strong>an</strong>d structure of LSMF. It is shown that the velocity of highspeed<br />

streams depends both on the area of coronal holes <strong>an</strong>d on their contrast. The<br />

background fields consist of fine elements with the predomin<strong>an</strong>tly tr<strong>an</strong>sversal field. The<br />

active longitudes arise at intersection of the heliospheric <strong>an</strong>d geographical equators. A<br />

forecast is produced expecting low activity in the first third of the XXI century.
