Magnetohydrodynamic mode coupling in the quiet-sun network

High-cadence, multiwavelength optical observations, taken during two separate observing runs at the National Solar Observatory/Sacramento Peak, are presented here. A total of fifteen network bright points have been studied at differing atmospheric heights, using images taken in narrow wavebands. Wavelet analysis was used to study wavepackets, and identify traveling magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves. Wave speeds were estimated through temporal cross-correlation of signals, in selected frequency bands of wavelet power, in each wavelength. Seven mode-coupling cases were identified, one in each of seven of the NBPs. MHD mode coupling is a viable mechanism for transport of energy from the photosphere into the chromosphere, where subsequent deposition can contribute to atmospheric heating.
