ocr: SOLAR ERUPTION DYNAMICS HOTSHOTS - - L - - - FIGURE 1 FIGURE: 2 FIGURE 3 EIT and LASCO are imaging instruments, with large fields of view, providing excellent images and movies of dynamic events. However, their diagnostic capabilities are limited in terms of line-of-sight velocities and temperatures. spectrometers, on the other hand, have much better diagnostic capabilities. Spectroscopic observations, made in concert with the high resolution imaging, can provide details of conditions in the solar atmosphere. As with weather maps, we are able to determine temperatures, densities, flow speeds a ...
