Abstract

We present the results of a statistical analysis carried out from a data base of 6 solar chromospheric emission lines recorded simultaneously and with high spectral resolution. An empirical and a clustering method for separating the different solar structures contributions have been used and been found in a good agreement. Mean profiles corresponding to the different populations have been built. Correlations of different parameters for each profile allowed us to deduce different properties of the solar chromosphere, such as the existence of magnetic canopies and downflows in active regions.
