Description
It has long been recognised that element abundance ratios vary between the solar wind and the photosphere. There have also been intense discussions in the past regarding the possibility of significant variations between the corona and photosphere. During recent years there has been a notable improvement in both the measurement accuracy and in the atomic theory, leading to the conclusions that many subtle variations in element abundances do indeed exist between a wide range of solar features, even possibly as a function of time within a single feature under study. Such variations present a major challenge for theorists to model the underlying phenomena. In addition once these phenomena are understood the abundances measurements themselves will provide a new insight into the physical processes in the regions observed. The fourteen papers published in this volume present an up-to-date picture of current understanding of the subject.
