✦ Synopsis

Using the electron density ne as an independent variable agreement between the models of the convective zone, photosphere, chromosphere, corona and solar wind is obtained. As a base the known data about the mean models of the individual layers of the quiet Sun are taken (i.e. without taking account of inhomogeneities and deviations from spherical symmetry). The chromospheric region is the exclusion. Here the run of :re (he) is revised anew to provide a smooth transition from temperature minimum to the corona and to satisfy the observed intensity distribution in the shortwave radio emission spectrum.

A plot of the gas density 0 versus ne permits to get a clear representation about the rate of change of the degree of ionization x and to evaluate quickly the numerical values of x.
