We present a three-dimensional model of rotating convection combined with a simplified model of a corona in spherical coordinates. The motions in the convection zone generate a large-scale magnetic field which is sporadically ejected into the outer layers above. Our model corona is approximately isothermal, but it includes density stratification due to gravity.
