Scientific paper

By combining observations of the Sun made by SUMER and MDI aboard SOHO, the network structures in equatorial coronal holes have been studied, in particular the relationship between the ultraviolet emission-line parameters (line radiance, Doppler shift and line width) and the underlying magnetic field. The bases of coronal holes seen in chromospheric spectral lines with relatively low formation temperatures generally have similar properties as normal quiet-Sun regions, i.e., small bright patches with a size of about 2 arcsec to 10 arcsec are the dominant features in the network as well as in cell interiors. With the increase of the formation temperature, these features become more diffuse, and have an enlarged size. Loop-like structures are the most prominent features in the transition region. In coronal holes, we found that many of such structures seem to have one footpoint rooted in the intra-network and to extend into the cell interiors. Some of them appear as star-shape clusters. In Dopplergrams of the O VI line at 1032 Å, there are also fine structures with apparent blue shifts, although, on average, they are red shifted. Structures with blue shifts have usually also broader line widths. They seem to represent plasma above large concentrations of unipolar magnetic field, without obvious bipolar photospheric magnetic features nearby.
