The widespread tendency in solar physics to divide the solar
atmosphere into separate layers and to distinguish phenomena of
solar activity from phenomena of the quiet Sun emphasizes the wide
ranging diversity of physical conditions and events occurring in
the solar atmosphere. This diversity spans the range from a
neutral, essentially quiescent atmosphere to a highly ionized,
violently convective atmosphere; from a domain in which magnetic
field effects are unimportant to a domain in which the magnetic
pressure exceeds the gas pressure, and from a domain in which the
particle motions are Maxwellian to a domain in which an appreciable
fraction of the particles is accelerated to relativistic energies.
It is now widely recognized that the chromosphere and corona have a
common origin in the mechanical energy flux generated in the
hydrogen convection zone lying beneath the photosphere.
Furthermore, magnetic field phenomena appear to be as vital to the
structure of th~ quiet Sun as to the active Sun. For these reasons
it appears desirable to present a unified treatment of the entire
solar atmosphere, both active and quiet, in a single volume. On the
other hand, such a treatise must be very long if it is to avoid
being superficial, and it is very difficult for a single author to
write authoritatively on such a wide range of topics.
