Temperature and Emission-Measure Profiles along Long-lived Solar Coronal Loops Observed with the [ITAL]Transition Region and Coronal Explorer[/ITAL]

We report an initial study of temperature and emission-measure distributions along four steady loops observed with the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer at the limb of the Sun. The temperature diagnostic is the filter ratio of the extreme-ultraviolet 171 and 195 Å passbands. The emission-measure diagnostic is the count rate in the 171 Å passband. We find essentially no temperature variation along the loops. We compare the observed loop structure with theoretical isothermal and nonisothermal static loop structure.
