We reexamine the interpretation of coronal observations aiming at the determination of the coronal magnetic field and/or the solar wind velocity vectors. In particular we investigate the effect of the integration along the line-of-sight on the profiles of O vi spectral lines emitted in the corona employing a simple model of the large scale coronal magnetic field and solar wind. Here we present preliminary results. We concentrate on the polar coronal holes and find that although the line-of-sight integration is not important at small heights, the width of the emitted line is increasingly affected when moving outwards from the solar disk. At distances of 2.5 R and greater the width of the profile integrated along the LOS is more than 2 times as larger as the line profile obtained from an elementary emitting volume on the polar axis.
