Abstract
Mass motions of material are seen in many wavelength and at many different layers of the solar atmosphere during flares. In this paper we try to summarize observations of mass motions in the corona made in soft X-rays by crystal spectrometers on the SMM, P78−1, Hinotori and Yohkoh spacecraft. Such observations are key to our understanding of energy release and of what is happening to the hot plasma during a flare.
