The Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer (CDS) on SOHO carries out daily synoptic observations of the Sun in four EUV (extreme ultraviolet) spectra: He I 584 Å, O V 630 Å, Mg IX 368 Å and Fe XVI 360 Å, over a 4 arcmin-wide strip along the solar central meridian. Using 53 active regions observed in this data set along with co-temporally observed SOHO-MDI (Michelson Doppler Imager) magnetograms we study the correlation of the chromospheric, transition region and coronal emission with the photospheric magnetic field for meridional active regions, probing the relation between the radiative output and magnetic observables. We also establish empirical, quantitative relations among intensities of different lines, and between intensities and the magnetic field flux.
