General description

The goal of this SOOP is to investigate the role of the small scales dynamics events in the frame of energy transport, deposition and dissipation in the corona. This includes to investigate the origin of small scales instabilities at the origin of eruptions. This SOOP can be used to investigate single events or do statistical studies. The target should vary in way to cover different coronal environments.
