Scientific paper

High resolution observations in the ultraviolet spectral region to study the structure and energy balance of the solar atmosphere are discussed. Observations with high spatial and spectral resolution show structure in the quiet and active atmosphere on the 1 arcsec scale. In addition to the all pervasive nonthermal line broadening, such observations show small regions where unusally large line widths and line shifts exist. Their relation to heating processes and mass flux deserves further study. Observations required to investigate the existence of wave heating modes are discussed, emphasizing the importance of simultaneous measurements of line fluxes, electron densities, and line profiles. The SOHO mission provides an excellent opportunity to resolve the issue of coronal heating.
