One of the distinctive features of reconnecting magnetic fields in a current sheet in the solar corona is the presence of plasma outflows, whose velocity depends on the plasma temperature inside the current sheet itself. The outflowing plasma is characterized by a symmetric velocity distribution along the line of sight. Therefore the ultimate observational effect of magnetic reconnection is a nonthermal broadening in the emission spectral lines. If reconnection occurs in a pre-flare active region, an observable nonthermal broadening in the XUV lines formed at a few million degrees is expected. The nonthermal profile of the individual spectral lines observed with SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) can be computed as a function of the temperature inside the current sheet.
