ON THE ENERGY BALANCE AND STRUCTURE OF THE CHROMOSPHERE
Abstract
The conception of the heating of the chromosphere by compressional waves, originating in regions of turbulence connected with the convective zone of the Sun, is developed. It is shown that in the chromosphere a balance can be reached between the energy, produced as a result of the dissipation of shock waves, and the energy carried away by radiation. The shock waves provide for the appearance in the chromosphere of regions with different temperatures (a two-temperature chromosphere).
