The application of the cloud model to measurements of the contrast as a function of wavelength in the Hα line has recently enabled us to derive numerical values for various parameters (such as velocity, source function, Doppler width and optical depth) of dark mottles observed near the center of the solar disk. The values of these parameters are used together with the calculations of Poland et al. (1971SPh....18..391P) and Yakovkin and Zel'dina (1975SPh....45..319Y) in order to determine the physical conditions in these structures. Thus population densities at levels 1, 2, 3 (N_1_, N_2_, N_3_), total particle density of hydrogen N_H_, electron density N_e_, electron temperature T_e_, gas pressure, total column mass, mass density and degree of hydrogen ionization can be determined. The values obtained are comparable with estimates obtained for spicules and mottles by different authors in the past and, furthermore, offer the prospect of putting observational constraints on non-LTE two-dimensional modelling of dark mottles observed in the Hα line which is currently in progress.
