Line fluxes and intensity ratios of the C II UV 0.01 intercombination multiplet near λ2325 Å have been used by Carpenter et al. (1985) to determine the density and the geometric extent of red giant chromospheres. Here the authors test the limitations of the C II method and the validity of the assumptions inherent in the method by means of observations of C II 2325 Å emission of two stars (K type supergiants ζ Aurigae, 32 Cygni) for which spatially resolved, empirical model chromospheres has been derived earlier from high resolution IUE observations at chromospheric eclipse phases (Schröder, 1985).
