✦ Synopsis

Several lines of neutral oxygen observed at various positions on the solar disk were used to study the influence of (1) the temperature distribution, (2) the velocity field, and (3) the damping on the line profiles and the abundance of oxygen in the photosphere. Theoretical profiles were calculated on the basis of four different model atmospheres in LTE. It was found that the model proposed by HOLWE6ER (1967) best reproduced the center-to-limb observations of the lines studied. The weighted mean of the oxygen abundance turned out to be logeo = 8.83 on the basis of logea = 12.00.

The center-limb behavior of C2, CH, CN, CO, and MgH lines have been analyzed using five photospheric models. A three-stream model developed by G. Elste gave the most satisfactory results, providing evidence for the existence of inhomogeneities in the photospheric layers --2.5 ~< logzs0oo ~< --0.5.

From high resolution white light photographs it is determined that the surface density of solar granulation decreases towards limb. A schematic model is proposed to interpret both decrease of surface density and size of granules in the upper photosphere.

Data from the Halogen Occultation Experiment (HALOE) provide the first opportunity to examine solar center-to-limb relative intensity measured exoatmospherically at wavelengths from 2.4 to 10 #m. The data were obtained from limb-to-limb scans across the solar equator on days of very low activity in
