These models include the treatment of magnetic fields\, heat conduction and radiative transfer (RT). However\, usually models fail to reproduce ob served properties of chromospheric spectral lines. The MgII h&k lines form in the middle to upper chromosphere and are observed by the IRIS satellit e mission with high precision. The forward modeled spectral lines appear o n average to have too narrow line widths and larger peak asymmetries than the observations.\n We use the recently developed chromospheric extension of the radiative MHD code MURaM to simulate an enhanced network (EN) regio n. From the resulting modeled atmospheres we use the RT codes RH1.5D and M ulti3D to synthesize the MgII h&k lines in 1D and 3D RT. We find that the line width as well as the peak separations from the forward modeled spectr a are on average larger and in better agreement to observations. We discus s the physical properties such as velocity gradients and density stratific ation in the chromosphere of the modeled atmosphere that lead to the impro ved synthetic spectral profiles.\n\nhttps://meetings.aip.de/event/24/contr ibutions/336/ LOCATION:Haus H\, Telegrafenberg URL:https://meetings.aip.de/event/24/contributions/336/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
