O VI : Total Intensities
The observed intensities are reasonably reproduced by most of the density models(DKL, GH94, Cra99)
Guh99 & Ess99 give relatively low intensities at low altitudes
(Raouafi & Solanki, 2004b)
![Page 8: Nour-Eddine Raouafi Magnetic and Velocity Fields in the Solar Corona Outline Polar Holes: Latest Results SUMER: The Polarimeter Conclusions](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649d545503460f94a31107/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
O VI : Widths & Intensity Ratios The LOS-integrated profiles are very sensitive to the density stratification details
DKL density stratification gives line widths comparable to the observed ones
The calculated intensity ratios are relatively close tothe observed ones(except for Guh99 & Ess99)
(Raouafi & Solanki, 2004a,b)

ConclusionSUMERSUMER showed us the way to infer thecoronal magnetic field & the solar windvelocity vectors through the Hanle effect
and the Doppler redistribution.
