Abstract: The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we study the asymptotics of the N'eron height pairing between degree-zero divisors on a family of degenerating compact Riemann surfaces parametrized by an algebraic curve. We show that if the monodromy is unipotent the leading term of the asymptotics is controlled by the local non-archimedean N'eron height pairing on the generic fiber of the family. Second, we prove a conjecture of R. Hain to the effect that the `height jumping divisor' related to the normal function $(2g-2)x-K$ on the moduli space $m{m}_{g,1}$ of 1-pointed curves of genus $ggeq2$ is effective. Both results follow from a study of the degeneration of the canonical metric on the Poincar'e bundle on a family of jacobian varieties.
