One and two-dimensional observations were made at 1.64 microns, the deepest observable level in the solar atmosphere; at 1.72 microns, representing the chromosphere; and at 1.17 microns, representing the visible photosphere. Structures distributed on a supergranular size scale (30,000 km) are apparently present at all levels. These structures in the deep photospheric level (1.64 microns) seem to be a 50 K-500 K temperature decrease over surrounding photosphere confined to the magnetic field-elements with horizontal scales less than 4000 km at supergranular boundaries, rather than a general temperature structure over the entire supergranule cell appropriate to convective energy transport.
