Abstract content <br> &nbsp; (Max 300 words)

Observational data of the line width measurement, surface luminosity
pulsation amplitude, surface velocity amplitude and pulsation amplitude ratio in
the solar atmosphere exists. We present an attempt to model the amplitude ratio
using a radial pulsation code that includes non-local convection and consistent
treatment of radiation. Previous attempts to model the above mentioned data were
partially successful because radiation treatment was approximate. In this talk I
will discuss the models and some of the results we obtain
