✦ Synopsis

The energy balance equation for a general solar atmosphere without assuming the planeparallel approximation is solved analytically. This leads to models for both the transition region and inner corona as well as for the outer corona. The form of the latter is very similar to that of the hydrostatic conduction model of Chapman (1957). However, in this paper we confine ourselves only to the former.

Model I is electron-pressure dependent but model II depends particularly on the maximum coronal temperature T,~ and its corresponding altitude h,M. Both the models are compared with recently constructed temperature models of Chiuderi and Riani (1974), McWhirter et al. (1975), and Gabriel (1976a). It is concluded that our model II reproduces these models within a factor of not more than 2.

Emission gradient curves for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) resonance lines of O vI and Mg x have been constructed from spectroheliograms of quiet limb regions observed with the Harvard experiment on Skylab. An analysis of these data suggests that the coronal temperature rises throughout the height range
