Polarization profiles of resonance lines formed in magnetic free semiinfinite atmospheres having either a uniform temperature or a chromospheric-type temperature rise are considered. In the isothermal case, a comparison is made between profiles calculated with the angle- and frequency-dependent R(II) partial redistribution and those given by the angle-averaged form of R(II), which is a simplified version of it introduced by Ayres (1985) and the Kneer (1975) approximation. It is found that, in chromospheric models, a maximum of polarization perpendicular to the surface appears at frequencies which are formed in the region of the temperature rise.
