Description

the_archive_description() uses term_description() to output a description on archive pages. Tag, term and category archives are covered but author archives aren't.

Related is the_archive_title(). This function outputs a title on all archive pages as would be expected.

Replying to henry.wright:

the_archive_description() uses term_description() to output a description on archive pages. Tag, term and category archives are covered but author archives aren't.

Where should an author archive description come from? The author's "Biographical Info" field?

The author bio does seem like the most appropriate field to use for this.
