Synthetic spectra computed svith semiempirical and theoretical models of the flare atmosphere are discussed. Stark profile of the Dahner lines ( n ≥ 6) and the Balmer continuum have been computed according to Donati-Falchi et al., (1985). A semiempirical model in between the F2 and F3 models proposed by Avrett et al., (1986) might represent a good approximation of the atmosphere of a flare during the impusive phase. Among the theoretical models proposed by Ricchiazzi (1982), the model, indicated as 1073, with very high coronal pressure (Po = 1000 dyne cm–2) probably represents the best approximation of the emission observed during the impulsive phase of a chromospheric flare. Continuum and Balmer lines ought to be measured and interpreted on the same time for a self-consistent diagnostic of the chromospheric modification.
