Scientific paper

The theory of chromospheric heating is reexamined to assess the validity of recent claims that short-period waves provide a viable explanation of the heating of the solar chromosphere. It is concluded that there is no reliable basis for these claims and that the whole question of the energy balance of the chromosphere is open. Emphasis is placed on the need for a careful study of the interplay between line blanketing, non-LTE effects, and mechanical heating.
