Scientific paper

The energy budget of the solar atmosphere in the region above the chromosphere out to about 5 solar radii is examined. An estimate of the energy required to accelerate the solar wind in regions above coronal holes shows that the energy requirements of coronal hole regions of the solar surface seem to be substantially greater than those of other regions. Of two possible mechanisms for the acceleration of the solar wind, thermal plasma pressure and Alfven waves, the former places even more severe demands on the energy budget, whereas the latter is more easily accommodated.
