The General Method of Analysis and Preliminary Results. Thomas, Richard N. Abstract The anomalous Balmer decrement in the solar flash spectrum is shown to result from self-absorption. The effect is analyzed numerically to obtain the population of the Baimer ground state as a function of height and thence an estimate of the kinetic temperature gradient. These results are combincd with the Balmer emission decrement to obtain an estimate of the kinetic temperature, its gradient, and the electron .
