We discuss an integral equation method that permits the calculation of the line source functions and of the emergent profiles in finite and semiinfinite atmospheres with macroscopic motion normal to the surface. Solutions are presented for a semiinfinite atmosphere with a temperature rise in the outward direction and with a flow that decays with increasing depth. The computed profiles have the form of P Cygni lines.
