We have looked at the coupling between the magnetic field and chromospheric dynamics. Observations with the SUMER spectrograph of the continuum radiation at 1319 Å have been correlated with simultaneous MDI magnetograms and dopplergrams in high resolution mode. We have used 7 different observing runs for our analysis, all from 1996. The absolute value of the magnetic field crossing the SUMER slit lies in the range 0-100 gauss. We observe a correlation between continuum intensity and magnetic field strength all the way to the sensitivity limit of MDI (about 2 G as 3σ in the mean value). Relative intensity fluctuations at frequencies corresponding to propagating acoustic waves (>4.5 mHz) have smaller amplitudes with increasing radiation temperature (or magnetic field strength). The absolute intensity fluctuations show an increase with increasing radiation temperature. These findings are consistent with a picture where a basic intensity level is set by a magnetic heating process even in the darkest internetwork areas with superimposed intensity variations caused by acoustic waves.
