Repeated intensity and velocity images of a large, isolated sunspot in both the chromospheric Ca II 8542 A and photospheric Fe I 5576 line were performed. It is shown by means of a movie of the digital data for the chromospheric line that a relationship exists between the propagating umbral disturbances and the running penumbral waves. Power spectra of the oscillations show a sharp peak at a period of about 170 sec in both the velocity and intensity signals, and the oscillations at any point in the sunspot are found to be very regular. The phase relationship between the velocity and the intensity of the chromospheric oscillations contrasts with that for the quiet sun. The mechanical energy flux carried by the observed umbral disturbances does not appear to be a significant contributor to the overall energy budget of the sunspot or the surrounding active region.
