Scientific paper

We present a detailed examination of downflow motions above flare loops observed in the 2002 July 23 flare. The extreme-ultraviolet images obtained with the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer show dark downflow motions (sunward motions) above the postflare loops, not only in the decay phase but also in the impulsive and main phases. We also found that the times when the downflow motions start to be seen correspond to the times when bursts of nonthermal emissions in hard X-rays and microwaves are emitted. This result implies that the downflow motions occurred when strong magnetic energy was released and that they are, or are correlated with, reconnection outflows.
