Scientific paper

The sizes of turbulent vortices at different heights in the solar atmosphere are determined. It is assumed that the sizes of turbulent vortices are distributed in accordance with a Poisson law while their velocities obey a Gaussian law. The number of turbulence elements occurring along a length having an optical depth of unity in the continuum, the root-mean-square velocity, and the correlation length are found from well-known spectral relationships and a described calculation procedure. It is found that the average size of turbulent vortices in the solar atmosphere decreases with height from 670 to 440 km, while their root-mean-square velocity is constant and equal to 1.7 km/s.
