A solar chromosphere and spicule model based on far-infrared limb observationsTechniques developed for LTE radiative transfer problems in a rough atmosphere were used to compute a model chromosphere containing spicules consistent with high-resolution solar limb observations from 100 microns to 2.6 mm. The model consists of a smooth, plane-parallel temperature minimum region extending from the photosphere to a height of 1000 km and randomly distributed cylindrical spicules above this height. It is found that the observed limb brightness profiles are well fitted by spicules with electron temperatures on the order of 7000 K.
