We report on chromospheric oscillations studied with 15 sec cadence observations obtained at a wavelength of 3.5 mm with the Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Array (BIMA). Different solar structures, including active and quiet-Sun regions, are analyzed. We compare the high-resolution millimeter 2-D images with Ca II K line images from Big Bear Solar Observatory. Using Fourier and wavelet time series analysis techniques we find signatures of intensity oscillations with periods in the range of 2-7 minutes. We discuss the results in the context of the dynamical model of the solar atmosphere by Carlsson & Stein (1995, 1997).To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
