Scientific paper

We discuss an observational signature of magnetoatmospheric waves in the chromosphere and transition region away from network magnetic fields. We demonstrate that when the observed quantity, line or continuum emission, is formed under high-β conditions, where β is the ratio of the plasma and magnetic pressures, we see fluctuations in intensity and line-of-sight (LOS) Doppler velocity consistent with the passage of the magnetoatmospheric waves. Conversely, if the observations form under low-β conditions, the intensity fluctuation is suppressed, but we retain the LOS Doppler velocity fluctuations. We speculate that mode conversion in the β~1 region is responsible for this change in the observational manifestation of the magnetoatmospheric waves.
