The research carried out under the above award was concerned with the analysis of "explosive events" in the solar atmosphere. Explosive events are small energy releases that reveal themselves as skewed, broadened line profiles in the 105 K degree material of the solar transition region. Using a data set of such events from the Solar Ultraviolet Measurements of Emitted Radiation (SUMER) instrument on the NASA SoHo satellite, with unprecedented temporal, spatial and spectral resolution, we have evaluated (Winebarger, Emslie, Mariska, & Warren 1999, Ap. J., 526, 471) the energetics of these events through application of the Velocity Differential Emission Measure (VDEM) analysis technique introduced by Newton, Emslie & Mariska, (1995, Ap. J, 447, 915). This work has allowed us to evaluate the contribution of various terms (such as enthalpy flux, free-streaming of high-energy electrons, etc.) to the energy budget of these events.
