Scientific paper

The possibility that hot, downflowing motions in the solar transition region may be due to the return of spicular matter to the chromosphere, after it has been heated by compression, is investigated following the order of magnitude estimates of Poletto (1980). Analytical solutions are given for equations describing the one-dimensional, nonstationary motion of the spicular plasma during the heating process. Temporal profiles of temperature, density and velocity are given for a set of representative situations, and results are compared with available data.
