Investigations of turbulent and directed motions in solar flaresA method is presented for fitting asymmetric line profiles from spectrally resolved observations of solar flares obtained during the past solar maximum. The method is applied to more than 40 flares observed with the Bent Crystal Spectrometer on the Solar Maximum Mission. Correlations between turbulent and directed motions are discussed. From ratios of Ca XIX and Fe XXV line intensities, the temperature of the upflowing component is inferred separately from the stationary component.
