Scientific paper

It is far from straightforward to infer the values of physical quantities as a function of height and/or horizontal position in the solar atmosphere from observed data. This is especially true in the chromosphere, where low density conditions prevail and lead to a decoupling of the radiation field from local conditions. The formation height of a given spectral feature in the atmosphere is not a priori known, but can only be calculated via a physical model. In general, formation heights will fluctuate in time and vary with position in the atmosphere, making inversions difficult. The nature of such problems in relation to the detection of waves in the chromosphere is discussed in this paper. Some specific examples of chromospheric diagnostics are discussed.
