Abstract
We have now to consider the heat carried mechanically in the chromosphere and corona and hope to explain in this way the heating of these two regions. It can be said that the present theories give a picture of the temperature in the chromosphere and corona which show all the main features of the observed temperature distribution. However the theory fails to be in quantitative agreement with the observations. The situation is the following. De Jager and Kuperus(1961) estimate the mechanical flux leaving the photosphere, and calculate the str ucture of the chromosphere and corona, assuming hydrostatic equilibrium and heat balance.
