Scientific paper

Early models of the chromosphere-corona transition zone of the sun considered it to be a static plane-parallel region. From these it became clear that the layer was extremely thin and had an important role in the conduction of energy from the corona. More recent observations show mass motions of order 10 km/s, which means that heating and cooling of the moving plasma has an important affect on the energy balance, while transient effects producing far higher velocities are also common. Studies of plasma motion through the zone are clearly relevant to the initial heating of material which enters the solar wind
