We present a study of the northern solar limb using simultaneous high resolution observations by HINODE/SOT (CaII H line) and TRACE (1600 Å) filtergrams, acquired during a coordinated campaign on October 15, 2007. Both data sets were reduced and then carefully coaligned in order to compare the observed patterns and topology in this highly dynamical region of the solar atmosphere. The identification of the same structures in both spectral bands allows us to trace their spatial and temporal variation. A multitude of spicules and small loops is revealed highlighting their association with magnetic field concentrations. Persistent plasma motions at certain locations, indicative of the recurrency of some structures, are visible throughout the entire time series. Cuts across and parallel to the limb provide information on these motions and their temporal evolution. Using wavelet and cross-correlation analyses we investigate oscillatory phenomena along the axis of off-limb spicules, as well as along lines parallel to the solar limb, and examine their interconnection with wave propagation.
