Extract

Observations of the distribution of millimetre-wavelength brightness over the quiet Sun provide an important test of models of the solar chromosphere. The author and colleagues have recently carried out two investigations of the quiet-Sun brightness at 3 mm wavelength — one by means of a total eclipse observation (Labrum et al. 1978) and the other by aperture synthesis with a two-element interferometer (Archer et al. 1978). I present here a preliminary discussion of these and other measurements of millimetre-wavelength brightness distributions and of their interpretation in terms of chromospheric structure.
