Photospheric and chromospheric oscillations in the base of coronal holes

In this paper we carry out an analysis of the spatial–temporal line-of-sight velocity variations measured in the chromospheric (H, H) and photospheric (Fei 6569 Å, Fei 4864 Å, Nii 4857 Å) lines at the base of 17 coronal holes. Time series of a duration from 43 to 120 min were recorded with the CCD line-array and the CCD matrix. Rather frequently we observed quasi-stationary upward flows with a measured velocity of up to 1 km s^–1 in the photosphere and up to 4–5 km s^–1 in the chromosphere (equivalent radial velocity of up to 3 km s^–1 and up to 12–15 km s^–1 accordingly) near dark points on the chromospheric network boundary inside polar CH. Line-of-sight velocity fluctuation spectra contain meaningful maxima in the low-frequency region clustering around the values 0.4, 0.75, and 1 mHz. Usually, the spatial localization of these maxima mutually coincides and, in our opinion, coincides with the chromospheric network boundary. Acoustic 3- and 5-min oscillations are enhanced in the coronal hole region and reach 1 km s^–1 in the photosphere and 3–4 km s^–1 in the chromosphere. These oscillations are not localized spatially and are distinguished throughout the entire region observed.
