Abstract: | The so-called Goldberg or profile intercomparison method of determining Doppler widths from spectral line profiles was used to analyze a group of high quality solar profiles which were observed with the McMath solar telescope at the Kitt Peak National Observatory. The observations consisted of profiles of eight lines of calcium and chromium, made at either four or five positions on the solar disk.A depth dependence of solar microturbulence could not be derived by applying the Goldberg method to a single pair of lines at a single disk position. When the depth dependence was determined from line pairs at different disk positions, a depth dependent turbulence model was obtained. The final model was anisotropic with radial and tangential components increasing with depth in the atmosphere.Now at Teledyne Brown Engineering, Huntsville, Alabama.Operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., under contract with the National Science Foundation. |
