The profile and polarization of the L alpha line in the solar corona were calculated. Coronal temperature variation, solar wind, and other nonthermal motions were taken into account. Because of the relatively low atomic weight of hydrogen the profile of the L alpha line is a sensitive indicator of the coronal temperature. The line polarization contains relatively little information except for strong magnetic fields (>70 G). (auth)
