Motions of Chromospheric Fine Structures
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Abstract
This review concerns itself with the measurement of the effects of chromospheric motions and the diagnosis of those motions themselves over approximately the last ten years. The different types of observational techniques are described. The different size regimes of motions are reviewed and their possible effects on observable quantities are discussed. The different types of motion in the lower chromosphere are reviewed, including microturbulence, ‘layered’ motions, and observations and interpretation of asymmetries in the core of the CaII K line. The observation of motions in Hα mottles on the disk and spicules on the limb are reviewed, from the standpoint of both line profile analysis and broad-band measurements. The interpretation of these motions and attempts to construct empirical models of chromospheric fine structures are discussed.
