Observations from the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph reveal the prevalence of intermittent small-scale jets with speeds of 80-250 km/s from the narrow bright network lanes of this interface region. These jets have lifetimes of 20-80 seconds and widths of 300 km or less. They originate from small-scale bright regions, often preceded by footpoint brightenings and accompanied by transverse waves with ~20 km/s amplitudes. Many jets reach temperatures of at least ~100000 K and constitute an important element of the transition region structures. They are likely an intermittent but persistent source of mass and energy for the solar wind.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-10-22T19:01:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "solar transition region", "chromosphere", "prevalence", "interface region imaging spectrograph reveal", "solar wind" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Science", "year": 2014, "month": "Oct", "volume": 346, "number": 6207, "pages": 1255711 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014Sci...346A.315T" } } }
