Outflow velocities in a polar coronal hole are derived from observatio
ns made during a 1982 sounding rocket flight. The velocity results are
derived from a Doppler dimming analysis of resonantly scattered H I L
yalpha. This analysis indicates radial outflow velocities of 217 km s-
1 at 2 R. from Sun-center with an uncertainty range of 153 to 251 km s
-1 at a confidence level of 67%. These results are best characterized
as strong evidence for supersonic outflow within 2 R. of Sun-center in
a polar coronal hole. Several means for obtaining improved accuracy i
n future observations are discussed.
