The influence of low-frequency temperature fluctuations on Doppler line shapes is investigated. It is shown that the line profile can be strongly narrowed if the fluctuations of ion and electron temperatures are correlated. This result shows that the widely used model retaining only velocity fluctuations in the analysis of Doppler lines might lead to misleading conclusions about turbulence level.
