From our numerical simulations we draw the following important conclusions:
To deduce velocities from asymmetric line profiles using these conclusions, we need to guess how the static profile would look like. For this purpose one could use a symmetric profile from a close observing time or position, but then it seems to be necessary to perform NLTE calculations for each particular case.
The determination of the velocity height structure from a single line is
inaccurate as an emergent line intensity is affected only in heights where
, which cover only a small part of the atmosphere for
a single line. We therefore need simultaneous spectral observations of
more lines, preferably those that originate in different heights,
to reconstruct the velocity structure in a flare atmosphere. The more
lines will be included the more precise the determination of the height
structure of the velocity will be.
