Abstract

In the astrophysics community, “the solar flare problem” is generally considered to be how to accumulate sufficient magnetic energy in one active region and to subsequently release it on a sufficiently short time scale. Satisfactory solution of the solar flare problem will require at least two achievements by the solar physics community: first, convincing theoretical demonstration that one or more mechanisms of energy storage and release can occur; second, convincing observational demonstration that one (or more) of these theoretical processes actually does occur in the solar atmosphere. The contents of this Chapter essentially relate to the second problem, being largely concerned with how the energy released from magnetic form is transported through the solar atmosphere before escaping in the form of the radiant and mechanical energy signatures which we must interpret.
